Vista - Remove Public directory after disable Public Folder Sharing

I have disabled all sharing in Network and Sharing Center. How can I now
remove the "Public" folder, now that it's not doing anything, in my Explorer
directory tree?

does it hurt anything if it is empty?
do you have multiple users on a single machine?

Does it hurt anything? Just my sense of neatness and order.
No multiple users, just myself as local admin. (No, don't need lecture on
why this is naughty : )

It *is* your computer :-)
Do it your way (if B G will let you).

IMHO, there may come a time where yo want to let someone else use your
hardware but no get at personal files (like address book, bookmarks).
Installing "public" stuff as "shared" and "personal" stuff as you
only, allows a quick "guest account" activation.
Way to many machines out there that still use W3x simple directory
structure with little or no file privacy (tight permissions).
