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?

I usually leave them until they’re dead dead and I can just pull the leaf off. It’s contributing as long as it’s still green.
