RSS Feed

Hello all,

If I remove the following from the header.php file my theme uses,

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Atom Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />

along with the reference to the RSS feed in my sidebar, will this remove the feed from the site altogether?

If not, please can anyone advise as to how I can completely remove the site’s feed?

Thanks in advance!
