No, there shouldn't be any harm, but you might want to use the
correct apt-get command to do so, since apt-get might keep a cache of
currently local .debs. From the man page:
clean clean clears out the local repository of retrieved
package files. It removes everything but the lock
file from /var/cache/apt/archives/ and
/var/cache/apt/archive/partial/. When APT is used
as a dselect(8) method, clean is run automatically.
Those who do not use dselect will likely want to
run apt-get clean from time to time to free up disk
space.
