Is it illegal to clean a Parolee's PC?

Can I clean information that anybody else could legally have (such as pornography) off of the PC of a parolee (who would be violated with such info on his hard drive) without legal issues? Would it make me an accessory?

Update:

Update: Upon telling this person that I couldn't clean it for him, he told me to just keep, cause if I couldn't clean it, he couldn't have it. If I personally own it, can I do as I please with it? Is a parole violation something I'm required to report?

    Yup. You would be aiding in a criminal offense.

    If you knowingly removed evidence of a crime, you are an accessory. If you knew at the time you removed the information that having it violated his parole, removing it is knowingly removing evidence of a crime.
