Hello!

I am a new windows 10 user and today when I checked the "Safely Remove Hardware and Media" option in my taskbar, I saw that my hard drive is there..
I am worried because I may miss-click and remove it when I am trying to remove a flash drive for example.

Is there a way to remove it from this section?

what will happen if I miss-click on it? Is it going to remove it? Is it going to stop working?
