Can I safely remove Desktop Pictures to free up space on 2011 Macbook Air, OS 10.10.5?

Hello and welcome,

You can, but that would only free up about 425 MB or so. Things like movies/videos and applications take up far much more room.

-How much free space do you have?
-Do you have any purchased iTunes movies that you could delete, since you can stream them or re-download them later?
-Have you checked your Downloads folder, and removed any large installers or other files you may not need any longer?
-Do you have a current Time Machine or other backup as a safety net?

Also EMails can take up a good amount of space, including ones that are not "exactly" deleted.
