comment distinct odd part partitions and symmetric partitions
I imagine this might get closed. But here's a hint to get you started anyway: every part of odd length can be 'bent' into a hook shape that is symmetric.

comment Box removing operators on partitions
Thank you for the answer. Let me see if I can push the idea here in the general case.

Here is the reference of Fomin-Greene that I am talking about (example 2.6 specifically) math.lsa.umich.edu/~fomin/Papers/ncschur.ps

comment Box removing operators on partitions
Thanks for the answer and the link to Garsia's paper. But I do believe there is a lot more going on here than the case you mention, and I disagree that these are the Coxeter-Knuth relations. I checked a paper of Fomin's that defines the adjoint of the operators that I am considering, calling them Schur operators (or box adding operators if you will). He further goes on to say that the complete list of relations between the Schur operators is not known.

If you check the relations that I gave, then they already list some words that are equivalent. For example, $d_1d_3$ and $d_3d_1$ are equivalent words because either both act on a partition to give $0$ or the same partition. Hope this clarifies.
