White is NOT removable either, I'm pretty sure if it was, then Vizards would've gotten rid of their "inserted" hollows, (whereas Ichigo was already born with it), the lack of White's presence within Ichigo would've killed him, because of the "soul suicide".

For reference, read http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Hollowfication White would be the cause of soul suicide not a lack of him and since he was created with shinigami souls (unlike visored Hollows) he should be removable like how Rukia's Shinigami power was forcibly removed from Ichigo by Byakuya. Firstly, balance - with white being a part of Ichigo, his soul is kept balanced, like Isshin kept Masaki's soul balanced, if you were to take out White you would break that balance, therefore causing soul suicide.

Secondly, White became a part of Ichigo, "White" itself doesn't exist anymore, only the Hollowfication effect is left.

Lastly, Rukia's powers were removed by Senka, which should've and would've sealed Ichigo's spiritual pressure, thus rendering him unable to even see or sense spirits, had Urahara not intervened.

Also, how do you know the Vizard's hollows were not created using shinigami souls? The only thing known about the hollowfication incident is that Aizen was behind it, even the cause is referred to as an "Unknown Infection".
