This spider has taken residence in a corner of one of the rooms, I’m not bothered by them but the web is getting a bit too big… can I just remove part of it to keep the size in check without causing harm to the spider?

I used to think so too! To be fair the whitetails want to eat the daddy longlegs, but they don’t have the reach advantage.
There are some videos on youtube eg this one.
Can’t find it right now but somewhere there’s a 3 part one showing how the daddy longlegs deliberately lures the whitetail to try to come and eat it, but it’s a trap.
