There really are not many risks. There are only two risks I can think of:
- If using an advanced program or the system shell (like command prompt on Windows) one might accidentally remove or change the file extension, which tells Windows and Mac systems what to do with the file. So if "Document1.doc" is renamed to "My Document" it will become unrecognized data. To use the file, the .doc will need to be replaced ("My Document.doc"). However, there is not permanent harm if this happens, and most GUI operating systems hide the file extension altogether.
- If a storage device is failing, and you go on a renaming spree, you could in theory, cause portions of the drive to fail making data irretrievable. However, the drive would need to be in very bad shape, any you would need to rename an awful lot of files. In my opinion, this is not even a consideration.

It is used for the impermanent storage of your data files. Also it is where the windows or MAC system files (which make your computer work) are stored.

Impermanent because they will remain if the power is lost, but you can erase them if you desire.
