Yes.
For the same reason that you should remove it for
in plain daylight: The extra glass is not adding
to optical quality, modern lenses do filter UV
on their own without the need for extra filters,
the slight warming of a Skylight will be rendered
void by most labs if you shoot negative film.
There is only one point where I would use a
"protective" filter: When circumstances make
it mandatory to wear eye protection for myself.
On all other occasions a filter "not harm" at best,
or simply ruin your shot. Never use filters if you
must not.
