~0.5 GB is a lot? That's less than an 80th (or 0.125%) of your drive space.

So can I recursively delete entire contents of my /usr/src directory or should take care for some important configuration or makefiles. I've copied my custom kernel configuration to /root/ directory.

Sure, but then you'll have to re-download them anytime you want to edit the kernel config, or update the system, or update GNOME, and so on. What's more important to you: half a gig of drive space, or X minutes of time redoing things everytime?
