Q: Is it posible to remove all back up data from my iMac, since I have a time capsule?

However, in general, once you remove anything on your internal drive, the next backup will also eliminate whatever you've removed, so unless you are sure that you do not need the item, I'd be careful in what I delete.

I don't use File Vault so I'll just point you to a support article rather than offer advice that may not be correct Use FileVault to encrypt the startup disk on your Mac - Apple Support

If you will be deleting them on your internal drive after copying them over, make sure you will back up that library on another drive or it may be gone if that drive fails (as they all will sooner or later).
