It depends on what you mean by "unnecessary garbage". :-)

If you're likely to be compiling the source tree again, you
will have to do a "make world" completely from scratch if you
delete everything now.  If you leave all the binaries there,
you can get away with doing "make all install" and it will
only compile the things that have changed.

If on the other hand you're not planning on re-compiling it,
then by all means do a "make clean" and free up some space!
