Answer 1

You can set the hidden property of the UIImageView to YES.

If you would actually want to remove it, you can call removeFromSuperview.

Answer 2

I'm going to assume your touch events code is correct...

To actually remove the object, you'd do something similar to this

[someObjectHere removeFromSuperview];

If you're trying to hide it, do what Jacob stated via the hidden property
