Can this be deleted?

Did you make those by yourself?
I will do that for myself.

Here in my grammar book, it says that "by yourself" and "for myself" cannot be removed from the sentence above. But I think they CAN be removed. How about your opinions?

Thanks, experts!

Then, you mean even though they are removed, the sentence will still be grammatically correct, right? (The meaning changes, of course.) Thanks for the kind reply!

Yes.

'Did you make those?' and 'I will do that' are just fine.
