what is the purpose of the files in this directory: /var/lib/apt/lists?

I am getting a duplicate entry error message from synaptic package manager
and it says the problem is there. I am wondering a few things:
What this directory is.
Whether it safe to simply delete the offending duplicates from there.
Whether this is a useful new discovery... Is this where all the packages I have no use for end up and something I can edit to suit my fancy in the long run? It would be nice to be able to reduce the clutter in my package manager. Especially find a way to get rid of all the 32 bit stuff or older versions of programs I have downloaded manually elsewhere.
I had meant to post this in linux! So if this is wrong place let me know and I will move it there!
