I've been using Ubuntu 12.10 alongside windows 8 and I installed it a long time back using a .iso file which is roughly 800mb in size. Can I delete it now ? Will it affect my PC? Can I do the same for 13.10? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can delete the .iso files. That will not affect the existing system anyway. But you may need it any later time for re-installation or repair.
Unless there is acute crisis of disk space it is recommended to preserve the .iso file of the existing distro you are using.
Yes you can, the ISO file is just a disc image used for creating Live CD's or bootable ~USB's for installation purposes, there is no need for it to sit on your desktop/usb.
