Does anyone know the true amount of BTC circulating after your remove any Idle BTC?

how would you define those idle BTC? You see, it is really impossible to tell whether the BTC is just in a cold storage or a paper wallet OR if it is forgotten, destroyed or disposed off (like in a hard disk thrown away to a dump).

The difference is that the ones in a cold storage or a paper wallet can be turned to hot wallet and used in a matter of hours or days, while the bitcoins that were destroyed/disposed off cannot be used ever again.

So I think you wanted to know how many there are bitcoins that were distroyed?

But as I said in the beginning of my post, you cannot distinguish them from the bitcoins in a cold storage, you see.....
