Je ne le sais pas OR Je ne sais pas

"Sais-tu que Amy est mort?" - "Je ne le sais pas" OR "Je ne sais pas"?

According to the lesson saying that le replace ideas that are introduced by que, but "je ne sais pas" seem more commonly used

This question relates to:French lesson "Using neuter pronouns le or l' to refer to previously mentioned ideas (French Direct Object Pronouns)"

You'd probably hear both versions. If you want to stress what specifically you don't know, you include the "le". If you want to give a general "I don't know" answer, you leave it out.
