Well, I would be on the safe side and move the directory instead of 
rm'ing it. 
eg. mv /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-2.0.36
Better to be safe than sorry...

BTW, if you are going to be compiling a new kernel, you might as well get 
the latest kernel 2.2.5.   There are some security exploits fixed since 
2.2.0.
