But that's not the same as the other folders. 

This one contains the modules for that kernel (3.0.0-mbp82-lina) but the 
folders you "cleaned" were pointing to kernel headers which now are not 
available anymore. I don't tend to compile programs or kernels unless I 
have a special need for doing it, so I can't tell what are the drawbacks 
the deletion of that folders may have.
