Yes, you can remove the empty staff.
2 things to check:
1) in the staff attribute for the LH staff, make sure the "Allow hiding when
empty" box is checked
2) Staff Tool: double click on one of the Brace handles to access the group
definition.
Next to "When Hiding Empty Staves", make sure "Hide Normally" is showing
Changing either one of these option should now let you hide the empty staff.
