Question Is it okay to leave Cd/Dvd drive empty?

Maybe dumb question, but is it okay to leave it empty for my laptop?
This is an old laptop already. I thought it was the HDD that was clicking but after i change to SSD i think it was the cd drive.
And i think keeping it affects the booting cause after turning it on, there is clicking sound and takes quite some time before the OS go on.

There is no problem leaving the optical drive empty.

Depends on the laptop, but that is quite often possible.
