Documents folder in root

My (limited) understanding is that the PortableApps Platform creates a folder in the root of its own drive called Documents. Within this folder are Music, Pictures, and Videos folders.

1. What are the consequences of deleting this Documents folder and its contents when the PortableApps Platform is running from NON-removable storage?

I don't believe there would

I don't believe there would be any consequences because it's just a normal Windows folder but if you delete it, it probably won't work when you click the corresponding button on the platform. (ie Deleting or moving the Music folder out of the root will cause the Music button to not work correctly)

or just try

I mean you can just cut and paste the folder to some other place and the see yourself what does happen.
If you are not happy, simply paste it back where it was.

Or...

Rename the Documents folder to something else, like XDocuments, and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, rename it back.
