Can I remove the middle support 2x4 under my stairs?

I recently cut into the space under the stairs of my split level house. I want to use this space for storage, but the middle support 2x4 prevents me from getting storage bing in further. Is there any way I can remove this and add more support elsewhere? Maybe adding two supports, but leaving slightly more space open in the middle would work? submitted by /u/Background_Truck_895 [link] [comments]
