Yes. By all means remove un-used pads.

Subject: [TN] PCB design/build question about via construction

On an internal copper plane(pour) where a via intersects the plane but
doesn't connect, should we remove the pad on that plane for that via?  I
would think that it would add some measure of structural support for the via
if we left it in place.  Am I wrong?

Thanks,
David Bealer
