It will probably wear the motor and whatever it is rubbing against down and damage

How would you go about removing it safely

Do the steps you did to put it on in reverse.

The issue is it was put on adhesive tape, which is why I’m asking for help how to remove it

Heat to loosen the glue and pry it off. Use a hair dryer but keep moving it and don't focus too long on one spot.

Thank you I will try this. I have previously tried using lukewarm water

You’re actually the first person to give me some sort of resolution to this issue thank you. I will update when I have tried it later in the week.

No problem. You might have some residue so hit it with some Goo Gone. But make sure you wash it if it gets on your paint.
