Once you've updated all of them and confirmed there's nothing pointing to the old page/site then you're free to remove the 301s from your site altogether.

One caveat re. removing 301s; if you have people bookmarking your site, those who did so prior to your changing URLs will receive 404 errors if the 301s are removed.
If you're uncertain as to whether or not such is a matter for concern, your server logs will serve to show the number of requests for your favicon file, regardless of whether or not you have one.
