Actually I'd leave them in there. They can help clean up any uneaten food bits.

10 ghost shrimp might be too many for a 10 gallon tank, though. They seem to be pretty territorial.

What do you mean when you say 'the water's gross' after you vacuum the gravel? It sounds like there's excessive waste.

Ghost shrimp get territorial? I've never seen that with mine and we had 50 (I had the LFS guy count them) in a 10g hospital/fry/QT tank until it was time for them to be food. :)
