It's there to deflect the air to parts of the PSU that need it more. Leave it alone. Power supplies can hold voltage after they're unplugged. You should be very careful.

LOL!

Please read ANY PSU review ANYWHERE that takes apart the PSU and takes pictures of the inside, including the fan, and you will see that EVERY PSU has an acetate sheet blocking part of the fan.

Seriously.

Im pretty sure it doesn't deflect the air, cause it just flat piece of plastic and it covers the capacitor and some coil, and thanks k for reminding me to be careful.
