There are two ways of removing an insignia when placed.
The first way would be to run this function on the unit:
fnc_removeUnitInsignia = { _unit = _this select 0; _index = -1; { if (_x == "insignia") exitwith {_index = _foreachindex;}; } foreach getarray (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> gettext ( configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> uniform _unit >> "ItemInfo" >> "uniformClass") >> "hiddenSelections"); _unit setObjectTextureGlobal [_index, ""]; }; [player] call fnc_removeUnitInsignia
The second way would be to create an empty cfgUnitInsignia class in the description.ext:
class CfgUnitInsignia { class empty { author = ""; displayName = ""; texture = ""; }; }; And then run it the normal way: [player, "empty"] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia

In https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Unit_Insignia, you can read:
<quote>You can add a new insignia in Config.cpp and Description.ext.</quote>
If it's possible to add a cfgUnitInsignia class in a description.ext, please note that the path of the texture differs for server and client in MP environment. Config.cpp (addon) is more reliable. Description.ext, in this case, should be used for SP mission only.
This function calls the setObjectTextureGlobal, which is a broken command in MP (see feedback tracker) August 2016.
