I am replacing a dimmer with a smart one. Can I do some clean up in this back box?

[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 538589, member: 35153"] A few comments on your photo's:- 1) The bottom red cable in the scew terminal doesnt connect to anything else in the box. It could be removed from the terminal, insulated by your preferred means an tucked away in the corner of the box. 2) The terminal above with the yellow and red can be disconnected and the yellow wire discarded, the red wire connected with the other red wire on the switch (yellow and red are joined together). 3) The blue wire in the switch needs re terminating there's way too much bare copper. 4) No sign of any earth conductors.
