Safe to remove a cracked pane in a dual pane window?

I have an old aluminum dual paned window, which one pane has a huge crack. I plan on replacing it (windows are expensive), but for now, is it safe to remove the cracked pane? Or should I leave it as is?

It's a giant X0X Slider, and the middle pane is broken. It's about 110" wide and 48" tall. It's on the second floor, and I probably won't replace it for at least six months. The cost for the window and installation would probably be in the thousands.
