Hi should I cut this dying leaf off my alocasia? If so where..it’s on a main stem and it appears there is new growth on the same steam…also would I be able to do anything with the leaf?

Each corm typically only has 2-3 leaves at a time, so it’s normal for the oldest to die off like this. The newest leaf looks good and it will keep growing. Just trim the old leaf as close as you can to the base of the plant ☺️
