Could you tell me what is correct to use? Should I say "don't worry" or "no worries"? Is there any difference?

Don't worry means don't overthink or don't be nervous/sad. No worries is another way to say "you're welcome" or "no problem"
Both are fine, they mean the same thing. No worries is just a little less formal.
Depends on if polite sense or casual. No worries is less formal more casual than don't worry. Instead don't worry can be used in both cases

Both are correct, I would use no worries when addressing my peers and also in an informal setting,, while don't worry in a formal setting
"No worries " and " don't worry " are both correct. You can use the two and there is no difference Lily sun
"don't worry" is an assuring way to ease some one up while "no worries" is often used to make the other one sure that he would have no problem in doing the task or so. Though the context do not seem to be different in meaning if we see it grammatically but in context, both of these can not take each others place.
I worked in Australia and they say "no worries" which is actually incorrect.
No worries Lily, feel free to say it. Both are correct, we aussies often use NO WORRIES.
Don’t worry can be when your assuring someone. No worries can also be when the deal has already been done.
Yes there is a big difference don't worry is keep a positive mindset ex don't worry mum will come back soon. And no worries is to accept a situation or apologies. ex sorry sir I didn't mean to reply it's ok no worries.
