Hello would it be possible to repair the shelf piece of wood or would it be better just to replace this piece ? Thanks [ATTACH]62798[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62800[/ATTACH]

Hello all, I am interested in removing a stud on the right side of my closet entrance. Currently the opening is about 54 inches wide, which makes it hard to find a bifold door that size. However if I remove the 2x4 with the Red X's in the picture below, the opening will be about 60-61 inches, which would be perfect for bifold doors. My only question is would it be safe to remove this 1 stud? Currently there are 2 2x4's holding up the 2x4's holding up the closet entrance. As far as I can tell this is not a load bearing wall, and there is nothing else its holding up. [ATTACH]65383[/ATTACH] Thanks
