The load-bearing structure of the staircase
I had planned for those of us with limited storage to make use of the small space under the stairs, so I broke up the gypsum there.
I want to saw off the encircled blue stud because otherwise, it will be a bit cramped and awkward.
I'm not 100% sure it's not load-bearing, even though, as fairly inexperienced, I don't think it is.
Is it safe to saw it off at an angle along with the carriage of the stairs that's behind the drywall?
Edit: There are two half-stairs, so it's the lower one straight ahead I'm asking about.

Then it's hardly load-bearing. Remove it. Have someone jump on the stairs and see if it flexes.

Why is there plaster on the inside of the wall? How did it happen?

If it's loose, just put it back, simply.
Regarding the module, in that case, you should have been able to access the space from another direction and wanted a nice wall.
