So don't delete files from there. Look at the rpm packages you have
installed, instead, and decide if there are any you can remove.

Probably not. Try this to clean it out:
rpm -ef /usr/games/*
Never tried it before, but I think that'll remove the packages
containing files in /usr/games.
Also, try this:
rpm -qa --qf "%-20{SIZE} %{NAME}\n" | sort -n | less
Look for things you can safely delete. Good candidates are -devel
packages, along with the compiler (gcc, make, etc), kernel-headers,
kernel-source (there's a big one!). Look around in /usr/src... if
there's anything left in there after removing the kernel-source package,
they can probably be safely deleted as well (/usr/src/redhat/*/*)
