I have purchased Lionel Command Control FasTrack Switches for my layout.
They are planned to be used in Command Control mode through my Cab1.
Is all that is needed to do to remove the remote controller is to unscrew the contact screws and remove the wires?

That's right. You just need to unscrew the terminals, remove the wires and then do the screws up again. You might also need to loosen one or more of the clips holding the cable in place in order to remove the cable, but that's it.
I have several command control switches, and they work perfectly without the remote switch. You can always operate them manually by turning the lantern if you ever need to do so too. And if you ever wish to, it's just as easy to re-connect the remote switch in the future. 
Thanks.
I was hoping it was a simple as that.
Where I don';t intend to use the remote control switch, I just cut the cable with its four small telephone-line type wires flush at the body of the switch. Saves having to even open it up.

On my FasTrack Command Control switches you don't have to open anything up. The terminals are underside of the switch, and easily accessible. Are your switches of the non-command variety Lee?
My non-command remote FT switches don't require any opening up...just as you said, loosen the screws, remove the wire, snug up the screws. And they can always be reconnected. I do mark with a sharp black marking pen, the first letter of the colors of the wires...
