If you imported those keys and if you have a backup (just in case, dont skip that!) you can remove them. If they are part of the HD wallet you cant and there is no reason to do so.

Do I understand right you used a different wallet for each transaction? I think, you could import them into one wallet and once you made sure your wallet is secure and has the coins, you may remove the other wallets.

Don't mix up wallet with address. OP has 95 different addresses in a single wallet, he thought once an address has received funds, it can't be used again. Now that he knows an address can be used repeatedly, he is wondering whether to delete the large excess he has.

I think the addresses can be deleted, since they are just dormant.
