No.

You cannot just delete an shared perl library.
If you delete ./site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.dll
you also need to delete the according pm's, which are listed in the .packlist.

Perl searches the @INC path for libraries. site_perl comes before
vendor_perl. So if you delete
./site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.dll
alone, your Image::Magic will be
broken until you reinstall it via CPAN or delete totally via .packlist.
