Parent CSS Full of Bloat

    I’ve completely redesigned my wordpress theme, so much so that my parent theme is full of bloated, redundant CSS. Is there anything I can do to shave this down? I realize it’s not considered the best practice to alter the parent theme css, but I have hundreds of lines of code that are getting loaded each time that affect my overall page size and speed.

    My original theme:

    I don’t need their navigation or footer area, or all their little styles for every possible tag that I know I won’t use. My only other option is to maybe install a bare-basics theme and rebuild the design again from scratch but that’s an enormous headache.

    As long as I save a backup css file for my parent theme and turn off automatic updating, will the sky really fall if I edit my parent theme css file? (I know how to code, and I am well-versed in css).
