How to safely delete all System Information Volume content/System restore points ?

From the beginning of my WinXP installation I turned off Monitoring (and creating of System Restore points)
for my drive D: (I enabled it only for drive C:).

Much to my surprise I detected recently that some System Restore Points exist for drive D:

How can that happen?

I decided to delete them. With menu

START->Programs->Accessories->SystemTools->DiskCleanup

I can delete all but the last System restore Point and the necessary amount of hard disc space is shrinked to 20MB.
Fine. Is there a chance to get rid of the last 20 MB (=The last System Restore Point as well)?

Can I simply delete the SystemVolume Information folder or does this cause troubles ?

Rod
