Can I hide product category image placeholders?

Hi,
I would like to use this code i have to display category and subcategory images from a random product image, if there is not an existing uploaded image for the category. The only problem is, when i activate the code, it doubles the placeholders for category and subcategory pages. So on the parent category page i get double the images as i have uploaded category images, and on the subcategories I get the desired random image, and a blank placeholder. Is it possible to hide the category image to make way for the image produced by the plugin?
I have pasted the code below….
Thank You,
Rohan
