This folder contains history and information I would like to remove. Can it
be deleted without causing a problem?

I wouldn't delete the folder itself, but it's contents is safe to
delete, as the files it contains are nothing more than a series of "XML"
type files that re-initiate a search:

Just delete the different "searches" that provide this "history" you
obviously don't want others to see.
