Best left alone...
This is the why we have a content manager...the missing dependencies belonging to the content are somewhere...maybe.
It's not a good idea to delete anything, even & especially built-in content.
Tomorrow there may be a route that uses that content.
It sounds like you need to invest in a external hard drive for more storage & move items you don't use or back-up Folders to that drive.
Going through all the files & removing what you think you don't need is like removing files from the Windows Temporary Folder manually...first thing you know, the files are back because you downloaded a route.
There are issues that need to be worked out for content missing dependencies in TS2009.
I know there are rolling stock items you will never use, just archive them in TS2009. Some of the dependencies may be used in your Favorites.
It's better to spend your time in-game enjoying, than to become obsessed with "filing."
