Is this an elephant ear (Colocasia of some type)? If it is an older leaf remove it as you see fit. I would worry more about spider mites on indoor elephant ears. I constantly remove leaves in winter if any of my EE plants show bad infestations of spider mites. Outdoors in summer the growth is so rapid that any spider mite invasions is hardly noticed.
