how would I for example remove the clutter of all the google references ?

You can use Bulk Edit Search and Replace, in regex mode.
Search mode:Regular Expression
Search Field: {template}
Destination field: identifiers
Template:
Search for:
Code:
(identifier1|identifier2):[^,]*
Replace with:
Identifier type:
Change identifier1 etc. to the identifiers you want to remove.

I assume that IDs are saved by calibre, mostly just to assist with future metadata downloads, & that they get there via add books & then via metadata downloads ?

I believe so, yes.
