Bypass a light switch

Converted a third bedroom to a walk-in closet; Wall units will cover up light switch so I want to take the switch out and put a blank plate over it. I have a WHT and BLK from source to switch and a BLK WHT RED coming from plug. On the plug I have RED and 2 WHT's with BLKs wire together. To bypass the switch… do I wire BLKs together and WHT's together, what do I do with the red? On the plug…do I need to do anything? The switch worked the top plug.

Thanks
