   the only thing in /usr/src should be kernel and you can only get rid of   
   it entirely if you won't be building any more packages that depend on it.   
   What you can do is a 'make mrproper' in it to clean out all the object files.   
   You can also get rid of all versions other than the current running version.   
   Do a 'uname -r' to get that information.   
      
   You can also get rid of all the unused versions in /lib/modules.
