No, it is not safe to remove the System Volume Information folder from the D drive or any other drive. This folder contains critical system restore points and information necessary for system recovery and backup processes. Deleting it can lead to loss of restore points and may cause issues with system stability and recovery options. If you're looking to free up space or manage system resources, consider other methods instead.

What happens if you delete the system volume information folder?
The System Volume Information folder is where system restore information is held. I first came across it in Windows ME, it is found in all flavours of Windows XP and Windows Vista. It is a very underated/inderused Windows tool, I have found it to be a life saver many times, I create restore points before and after installing new drivers or software. I manually configure System Restore depending on the number and size of the hard drives on the system. Normally I will turn off System restore for non System Drives, Reserving 12% of a 250 Gig Data Drive is a lot of wasted space.
