Yes.

Explanation:

Yes. Black holes will evaporate after time. We know this because they emit Hawking Radiation. Hawking Radiation happens near the Schwarzschild Radius (event horizon) due to Quantum Mechanical processes. The HR will make the black hole evaporate over a LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG amount of time into nothin'.
