I just removed mine, not because it didn't work, cuz things are going well, and I don't have issues like algae. I am going to recharge, dry it out and keep it.

I think as I just stated above, about recharging it is the best reason to use it. You don't throw it out, you clean and reuse, so it is a money saver.

Global, I was thinking of using purigen in a QT tank. If later you added some medicine, would you have to take the purigen out?
Thanks

Yes the Purigen should come out.

I agree with greg, yes remove it.
