You can remove "System Volume Information" and "$RECYCLE>BIN" from the folder, but only if you're sure of what you're doing. On Windows, the hidden items may appear differently depending on the view settings.

You have the option, but once you connect the drive, Windows will simply recreate these folders again. The network section won’t be read properly, and it might cause Windows to get frustrated, leading to temporary issues with the network share.

System Volume Data can be removed, but Windows will rebuild it automatically. The Recycle Bin acts as a short-term storage for deleted files, allowing you to recover them without deleting them permanently.

Just share the folder(s) that you need instead of the entire drive then you will not see this.
