The only GUARANTEED safe answer is to discharge the capacitor, through a suitable resistor, across the capacitor terminals.. It is true that in most cases one side of the capacitor will be grounded and the other attached to some rail, HOWEVER this is NOT TRUE in all designs.

These capacitors are known as "Y capacitors" (X capacitors on the other hand are used between mains live and mains neutral). There are two main subtypes of "Y capacitor", "Y1" and "Y2" (with Y1 being the higher rated type). In general Y1 capacitors are used in class 2 equipment while Y2 capacitors are used in class 1 equipment.
