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?

We call those flying daddy long legs in NZ

Can't tell if you are being serious or pulling my leg with that but I love it haha. I mean it's a perfect way to distinguish because over here we have no good way to call the spiders other than 'one of those long leg small body kinda spiders' which is a terrible name.

Definitely not pulling your long leg, daddy, it’s how we distinguish between the long legged things with wings and the long legged things without
