Yes, I've done it several times over three summers. Of course it's not a good idea to leave it empty for very long (since the pressure of the water in the pool helps the pool stay in the ground) but sometimes it is necessary to completely empty it, say for removing a large spill of decomposing leaves, cleaning the bottom, or repainting the pool.

How do you clean cement around an inground pool?
My concrete around the pool was stained from tree tannins. No cleaners helped at all. I disolved small amounts of shock granules and scattered it on the concrete. After a few minutes I hosed it off and the concrete looks like new. No pool or chemical supply location had any solution. Try the shock - it worked great for me.
