If everything uploaded all right to iTunes Match, then you can safely remove your local copies after a backup because you can use iCloud for playing your music.

Also

If you have duplicate playlists on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Follow the steps below.

Make sure that your iOS device is running the latest version of iOS

Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Delete duplicate playlists

Open iTunes from your computer. Make sure that you have the latest version.
In the Source List on the left side of iTunes, find the playlist that you want to delete.
Right-click or Control-click on the playlist title, then choose Delete.
Open the Music app on your iOS device. Depending on your device's Internet connection, it might take a few minutes for the changes to appear.
