Instead of inserting the edges to make them quads, can I also leave the subdivision caps at 1 and remove the unnecessary edges in order to create quads?

I figured it is a better workflow (in general) to leave the caps and maybe deleting them rather then deleting them right at the beginning and maybe need them later on which may be more difficult to add.

EDIT:

Nevermind.

I saw that I also have to delete the extra edges on the beveled side which all in all results in more work
Besides learning the insert edge tool is more valuable than learning how to delete stuff.
