under public_ftp there are no 'folders' that are 'required' except for the "incomming" folder.

You can delete things there either with a good FTP program like FILEZILLA, or through the filemanager in Cpanel.

Oooh.
That's different.
Folders under there (and files) are usually part of your website.

How is your site set up? did you use a CMS like PHPnuke/Mambo/Xoops?

Under public_html, it's simple. If you know what folders and files belong to your site, everything else can usually be trashed. Just be careful - ensure that you KNOW what folders and files are REQUIRED by your phpnuke installation...

Which plan are you on that you're already out of space??

cgi-bin and logs. if there's any custom files, 400, 404 and so on, you need to keep those as well.
