The judgment is not "removed" but the judgment creditor is barred by the discharge from collecting on the judgment. Filing a c. 7 will stay the collection, but if the case is dismissed before a discharge is granted, the judgment is enforceable. If the judgment involves intentional harm or drunk driving or certain other limited situations, the discharge does not prevent collection on the judgment.

Yes, most judgments can be discharged in a chapt. 7 bankruptcy. Getting the credit bureau's to report it correctly, is another matter entirely.
