I'm not entirely sure if this is what you are asking for, but you can
remove SCHEDULED and DEADLINE metadata by adding a prefix argument to
C-c C-s and C-c C-d.
,----
| C-c C-s runs the command org-schedule, which is an interactive
| compiled Lisp function in `org.el'.
|
| It is bound to C-c C-s, <menu-bar> <Org> <Dates and Scheduling>
| <Schedule Item>.
|
| (org-schedule &optional remove time)
|
| Insert the SCHEDULED: string with a timestamp to schedule a TODO item.
| With argument remove, remove any scheduling date from the item.
| When time is set, it should be an internal time specification, and the
| scheduling will use the corresponding date.
`----
Perhaps you are looking for something different---e.g., log info about
when an item was unscheduled? The phrase "so it could be logged" in the
first paragraph of your message makes me suspect I may not understand
your request.
Best,
Matt
