Icons ARE the images! It is just that they are displayed inside of 
buttons
in addition to their original image-objects.

Don't panic, no need for scruples ;-)

It is totally OK to hide these images or even move them off-screen.

No eternal damnation or stuff ;-)

Just like you did...

> If I clear them, are the button icons supposed to remain?

No original image = no icon of that image in a button
