Security considerations for BUILTIN\Users

I have been paring down the logins and users on my database, but still have some hanging around that don't do anything as far as I can see. BUILTIN\\Users is one particular group that has no special permissions or role memberships. I have read many a page on google talking about the other BUILTIN group (administrators - not writing full name in the hope google will pick up on BUILTIN\\Users instead), but nothing talks directly about BUILTIN\\Users. I would like to remove this group, both as a DB user and as a login. I have separate AD Groups for admin and standard access to the SQL server. So basically, is it safe to remove BUILTIN\\Users as a user and login?
