being so small id just let it be...if its the cotyledons (very first set of leaves) u talkin bout, they naturally will just die and fall off anyway

Any leaf that is still fresh (not dry) and is green, even if partially so, will take part in photosynthesis.
I would advise leaving them unless they are dead, in which case they would fall off naturally.

give them a light tug and if they dont come off try again in a few days. i lose a bit of bottom leaves once my conapy expands due to the light just not reaching them. if they dont come off with a light tug the plant is still moving nutrients out of them to other parts.
