You must be able to determine if any of the roof or floor framing is being supported by the wall in question. If it is a roof above look from the attic. If the ceiling joists have a splice above this wall or end above this wall it is a bearing wall. Same for floor joists if there is a floor above.

You really need someone like a civil engineer to come inspect it if it's a load bearing wall. It may be able to be supported by using a large beam to carry the load, but then more supports will be needed at the end of each beam. Even then, your foundation under those supports may not be deep enough to support the new amount of load it would carry. That's why you need a civil engineer to calculate all of that stuff.

You cannot possibly be able to do any of this, except maybe clean up the debris. Your English is atrocious. Hire a contractor, and clean up after the workmen.

What are you asking and why are you asking it here. Get somebody to come out and inspect it. Nothing you find here will do you any good, we can't see your room.
And learn how to spell!!!
