Support Question – Attic flooring

| Posted in Construction Techniques on
If I wanted to try and remove these supports… 1,2, & 3…
Is this something from an integrity standpoint that the roof needs? It seems like these aren’t supporting much but I am not 100% certain.
You see the header just to the left of the image that should support most of whats being held by those supports? Was curious if these 2×4’s could be removed as I assume they are using during the framing of the house and not really holding much from a structural standpoint. I will have to reroute the duct as well.
Open to thoughts/suggestions.
edit.. can’t get the images to upload to the site properly, lets try this…

I could comment but not until I see a pic of this area from the outside.
Also 2 more interior: Put your back against the drywall behind the studs on the left side of this photo, looking toward the lower right (parallel with the ceiling/floor joists).
Take one pic slightly to left and a 2nd slightly to the right.
It appears to be a stick-build roof and not trusses so there it's possible that they may be temporary braces installed to frame the roof (which looks a bit complicated).
