I know the channel on them workaround, but is their any other way? channeling makes a whole in the floor above so id prefer to find another way

Sorry, but there's no way to remove the stairs without either covering over it with floors or walls, or channeling it.

It makes sense to me. Think about the difference between digging a stair up and digging a stair down. Digging a stair down leaves a hole with the stairs downward. Digging a stair upwards leaves the floor intact. Removing an upward stair (Remove up stair) leaves the floor. Removing a downward stair (Channeling) leaves a hole.

  how does digging stairs up not make a hole?

If you need to, though, you can b>C construct the stairs, when they're removed that way, they don't leave a hole, and dwarves will remove them from the bottom.

It should be obvious. Think of stairs in real life. Digging a stair down means you have to dig though the floor. Digging a stair up has you digging around the to-be stairs. Leaving the floor intact.

Notice how mining an up stair leaves the floor.

Ingame i know it doesnt disturb the floor above.. but if u build stairs up in real life, u assume they lead somewhere ala an upper floor which means their has to be a hole for them

Digging upward stairs doesn't have to dig a hole into the above level. Miners could avoid digging into the floor above and still dig the stair out if they wanted to. The up stair isn't a "finished" stair set. Just the steps. The ceiling is left for the down stairs.
