penderbender:
I would just let it come off as it starts bending. Most should pop off when floor tillering. It'll give you a clean back. Plus protect the back for asking as it's there. Cheers- Brendan
mikekeswick:
It looks like it will need a fair bit of straightening. Remove the deflex and sideways bend at the same time.
Del the cat:
What the others have said.
Leave the bark...
The deflex is ok if you are thinking really heavy warbow say 120# it will make early brace a bit easier and can always be taken out near the end when there is less wood to bend.

High-Desert:
Just a warning about leavinghe bark on....you will scare yourself many times as the bark makes that scary popping sound as it loosens.
DC:
Small sections of the bark will not pop off usually. I scrape the outer bark off with a draw knife and then spritz the inner bark with water. It softens quickly. Wait a few minutes and then scrub with a stiff plastic brush. It will all come off and leave you with a pristine back.
