clean up walking onion patch, or leave it be?

We had an unusually warm winter and my walking onion patch never totally died down. The tops half to two thirds of each leaf are brown and dead, but the bottom portion is still fully green. I'd like to cut the greens low, now that the weather is warming up, so that the bulbs can put out new leaves for the summer. But I'm worried about letting moisture in through the cut ends of the hollow leaves during the spring rains and encouraging rotted layers. Is there a protocol for this? To cut or not to cut?
