Can a pocket door be removed or adjusted?

I have a sliding pocket door to a bathroom. It seems to be striking something inside the wall as it opens. It is possible to adjust or remove the pocket door?

The door hangs from a rail and appears to be a little crooked. I can see rollers on both sides of the rail, but I don’t see any screws to loosen or tighten. Is there a trick to removing or adjusting a pocket door?

The home is ten years old, so it’s a relatively new door.

    yes, you can adjust them but it may take a while, you have to remove the door trim, there should be two adjustable screws on the top at least the one i fixed did, good luck

    I don’t know if all pocket door hardware is the same but the ones we had in our old home were able to be taken off of the track by lifting up the door off of the rail.
