An nhd file is the progressed world. It contains everything about the world in it -- the buildings and lots as you have them, the sims, its weather, its mod settings (if you use mods), etc. If you delete a not at the moment being played nhd file from an ongoing game, it will be as if your sims had never been there in many ways. If you then attempt to travel to that world, you will be presented with a fresh one exactly like the original one you saw, and with the same sims at the same original ages, as the first time as a new nhd will spawn for you.
If you delete the nhd of the world actually being played in at the time of the most recent save, that save would no longer be playable.
This also applies to nhds for custom destinations for those of using NRaas Traveler. When I say that I have 16 Traveler mod connected worlds in my onging saved game, I therefore have 16 nhd files.
The much smaller ExportDB files are less important. I actually have forgotten exactly what they are meant to do, something about allowing foreign worlds to be exported into other ongoing games. If an nhd is to be deleted for whatever reason, we generally advise that the corresponding ExportDB should be as well although I don't think we've found that it makes much difference.
