Noob question: can I cut this part off?

So I'm making a super small 'deck, and I've got this perfect screen, but it has a massive port for use with the rpi pins, but I won't be using it, I have an actual power source, and the screen functions without it. Can I remove it? If so, how can I do so safely without damaging the pcb? Any help is appreciated!!! (This is the exact model https://www.waveshare.com/4inch-rpi-lcd-a.htm)
