Removing Should I remove a userstoryUser Story from the planned sprinta Sprint in progress if I know we can't complete it?

In the sprint can we remove (move to the upcoming sprint) the planned stories (mid sprint), if we are 100% sure we can’t complete them.?

Example given:

  • Suppose we planned to 5 stories to be completed in an sprint.
  • Midway the sprint we are sure one story can't be completed because of dependencies (or other reason).
  • Now can we remove this story so that, we have only 4 stories in the current sprint (and a cleaner burndown)?

I think we can’t do that, but have doubt.

The idea is that if we remove the user stories (which can’t be completed), we would have cleaner burndown chart.

What is the right way to approach this problem?

In the sprint can we remove (move to the upcoming sprint) the planned stories (mid sprint), if we are 100% sure we can’t complete them.

E.g.
Example given:

  • Suppose we planned to 5 stories to be completed in an sprint.
     
  • Midway the sprint we are sure one story can't be completed because of dependencies (or other reason).
     
  • Now can we remove this story so that, we have only 4 stories in the current sprint (and a cleaner burndown)?
     

I think we can’t do that, but have doubt. 

The idea is that if we remove the user stories (which can’t be completed), we would have cleaner burndown chart. Please guide.
