I have VirtualPC 7.0.2. - upgraded last year from version 6.
I noticed in my computer's Documents folder a folder called Virtual PC
List. In there, there are two nearly identical files called "Windows XP
Professional" - both very large (6 GB and 3 GB).
It looks like one of them is connected with Virtual PC 6 ... is it okay
to delete this?
And likewise, is it okay to delete the VPC6 application?

I know these probably sound like very obvious questions, but this is an
application that I'm afraid to mess with!

And I ask, because I'm starting to need to open up some hard disc
space.....

There can't be two files with the same name.  They probably have
different extensions.

Yes to both.

When deleting a MacOS X file you aren't sure you can live without, I
suggest you delete it, but don't empty trash for some time, say after
you have run the related Apps a few times.
