Removing photos from Imports folder

When I import photos, they go into the Imports folder. After I move them to a particular album, they're still in the Imports folder.

When I delete them from the Import folder, they disappear from the album where I've put them.

Question: How do I empty my Imports folder without deleting them from the album in which I have put them?

You don't, really. Imports is not a place, it's a list. It's a short cut to the recent imports that you have done, that's all. These are no duplicates, just another 'doorway' into the same library.
