Is it safe to delete LiveKernelReports Watchdog .dmp files?
I have a Watchdog dump file that is 9.5GB in size. Is it safe to delete this file?

So that sounds like a "Yes" to the OP's question, unless the user is interested in getting help about the crash.
- These files are generated by the Windows kernel when a system crash or blue screen of death (BSOD) occurs. The kernel creates a dump file to capture the system state at the moment of the crash, which can be useful for debugging and troubleshooting purposes.
- LiveKernelReports is a Windows feature that generates memory dump files (also known as "crash dumps" or ".dmp" files) when a system crash or kernel error occurs. The purpose of these files is to help developers diagnose and troubleshoot issues with Windows and its components.
