Hello good people. Yet another "Is this wall load-bearing" thread.
I have a wall running through the middle of the house, marked in red in the pictures. Despite it going through the house, I don't think it's load-bearing, based on what I've seen in the attic.
The studs disappeared a few hours ago and so far nothing has collapsed.
Have also walked a little in the attic.
Can we breathe easy or is there a risk that issues with load-bearing will come later?
Also noted this 'warning' (written on the stud) when I removed a bit more drywall as the studs disappeared. But that can't have anything to do with load-bearing, right?
They do not support the roof. Whether they have a load-bearing function for the rest of the house, I leave unsaid.
If you are not very sure of your case, you should avoid tearing down interior walls as much as possible. The walls may serve other functions than handling loads from above, which might be the easiest to assess yourself.

Thanks for the response!
There are some electrical wires in the walls, but nothing unusual. What other important functions could the wall have?
Maybe I'm just worrying because of the 'warning' 😅..

Interior walls can, for instance, serve the function of stabilizing the house against wind loads.
