I never had any problems, though. I wondered how the game would react internally when you just delete one of the files. But replacing it with an empty file should not be much better because the attempt to read data from it would not even find the expected image file header, or the header of the image compression format so other internal routines should fail either way.
The safest way to prevent this would be to replace the file with an empty image that just contains a transparent background at the size of the original umark.dds.
