If I wanted to remove the nav-bar all together could I just delete all the nav-bar code within that nav template and that not effect anything in the future as well?

Thanks! Just wanting to be sure I understand this before making too many edits and regretting it later...

Your correct in assuming the regular templates may be overwritten or not merge correctly so yes, it's well advised you make a changelog as you go this way when you do an update if anything fails you can simply create a new default style and re-customize from scratch... that's not always required but once or twice I have been required to redo a style from scratch as comparing the templates via the options and correcting would have been more time consuming then simply redoing the entire style and I was very happy that I had the changelog for that forum .

Remove it completely? Well you can just be sure any mods that do auto template via hooks are not requiring a hook in the navbar otherwise it won't work or worse could produce an error although not working is usually the thing you see when a hook is missing that it requires etc.
