From my experience, nothing went wrong when I deleted it. I can still play the games that were fully downloaded but remained in the downloading folder that I already deleted.

The downloading folder usually contains the temporary files of a game you're currently downloading.

The steamapps folder contains the common folder that has all your games in it. Just wanted to help by answering part of your question, but you may already know this.

and yeah i figured it has the currently updating games that i paused
But it also has a lot of games that i already finished downloading
such as bastion , Super meat boy , Games that i downloaded fully and are there but still in the downloading folder , so i decided to track them down 1 by 1 and removing them.
not gonna delete it all still have some on going updated games
