Did you use the package system or the ports system(pkg_add or make 
install).  You can safely use make clean to remove all files used in the 
making of any sotware you compiled.  You can use make distclean to 
remove all those tar.gz files that your machince downloaded with ether 
command.  You could also remove the /usr/obj directory, its used for 
tempory storage when you buildworld or buildkernel.
