if there dead ur fine! its best to remove them as they can cause mould. How ever it us un-wize to remove living fan leaves as the plant needs them to photosynthesize. If fan leaves are getting in the way of buds sites position leaves away from the buds never remove!! :)

many people remove the bottom fan leaves to prevent pests and mold also they but them so they good breeze going through out the bottom of the plant and also makes the top of the plant explode more but im pretty sure the experts would know the real facts as this is what i seem to be the reason for them to do this
