Should I delete the base.apk files?

[FallinstaR]

By using root explorer, I found base.apk files of each and every app I installed from Google Play Store. Those are not system app. The file size of those base.apk files are same as shown in the play store app info tab. I think those are the apk files which are downloaded to install the apps and won't affect anything if I delete them. BUT I'm not sure about that and that's why I need advice from someone who has experience about this....

As long as you have installed the app, I don't think it matters if you delete the apk

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to take any risk. I want to make sure that there won't be any problem if I delete them....

That file(base.apk) is used by applications like shareit or other app backup apps to backup/share the apk file(the one of which base.apk belongs to). So, keep that in mind and do whatever you want
