During our stairwell remodel, I broke into the dead space under our stairs from inside the closet.

Now I want to annex this space to the closet.

Can I remove the studs from the side & back of the closet? Are they just for attaching the wall board? OR are they part of the support system for the stringers? From what I've been reading, it seems that stairs are attached at the top & anchored at the bottom, with no need for support in between.
