I created a Snapshot Clear-Case view (Say View_1) in my local drive.
After a long time it got finished up with some errors w.r.t. some files.

I created another view (Say View_2) at some other folder structure on ma local drive, which got created successfully without any error.
Now due to HDD space constrained, I wanted to delete View_1.

Is this is OK to delete a corrupted view from my local machine?

If not, then why?

You can delete it directly, but it would still exist for ClearCase (still [being registered][1]).

Better would be to do:

cd c:\parent\dir_of_View_1
cleartool rmview View_1

If you have already deleted (not through cleartool, but with a simple Windows delete) the View_1 directory, you still can unregister that view, through script like nuke_view.pl: rmtag + unregister view.

Note: this answer assumes that View_1 and View_2 are two different ClearCase views, not two different root directory of the same ClearCase view (loaded twice).
