Well, if you really have to delete files and connect get any more disks. /usr/share contains a lot of informative stuff that can be deleted. Basically, you can delete anything as long is you do not use it. However, when you start deleting files belonging to packages you can break the dependencies and thus make it hard to keep up to date with the latest updates.
