Safety overview

Status: Use with caution

This is probably app-specific support data rather than a core macOS system item. Removing it is unlikely to damage macOS itself, but it may reset preview-related data or break Finder previews for Affinity files until the related app or extension recreates the container.

Recommendation: Keep this folder if you use Affinity apps or rely on Finder previews for their documents. If Affinity has been removed and you no longer use its file previews, this container is usually optional and may be removed cautiously, understanding that any stored preview settings or temporary container data will be lost.
