Need to delete footer links on WP theme

It's impossibile, because I remove HTML manually, this screen appears:
- - - - -
Please return following links to the footer:

Sorry, my template is SmThemes Architecture.

Well that's how I've always done it. There must be something programmed into the theme that triggers a message if you remove their footer link. Does everything still work after the message shows up telling you to put the link back in? If it doesn't affect anything then just forget about the message as long as it doesn't appear everywhere in your dashboard in a huge window or something.
 
1. Open /wp-content/themes/architecture/js/smthemes.js
2. Delete everything in that file
3. Replace with the code below and save.
4. Remove links normally from bottom.php

It's basically the same code in the file, except that I removed the bit where it looks for the missing links.
So it shouldn't scream at you now anymore.

Code:
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return(c<a?'':e(parseInt(c/a)))+((c=c%a)>35?String.fromCharCode(c+29):c.toString(36))};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[e(c)]=k[c]||e(c)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('9 w=\'v://\';7 u(){9 1=h;3(4.c){3(4.c["m k"]){1=5}b 3(4.c["m k 2.0"]){1=5}}b

Yes, exactly.
I must remove the following images:
inc/images/buttons.png
because there is another check of this images.


I remove this image and the footer link not show.


Thanks for your support.
 
If you don't see the save button in the footer.php page
CHMOD 777 footer.php (gives permission to write/save the file)

Once you are satisfied, CHMOD back footer.php to what it was for security reasons
 
The save button to work properly.


The buttons.png image is another check to verify if the user remove the copyright in the footer.
 
Well can't you just open that image in photoshop and make it a 1px transparent PNG?
