No need to get rid, they are nice decorations, just have to be properly marked as empty or don't allow interaction with them. Because there are too many, it's just pointless time sink.
I'm not looking for more loot, but still have to open everything because a quest item could be in there; same with dead bodies.
Just show it when empty, though I wish there was a special - optional - marker on every quest item container or body, and not just the empty tag.
