On my Fedora 7 system I have the following root directories which seem

/misc
/net
They are used by automount, but it does not sounds like you are
using automount.
OK, thanks.
However, probably you could:-:)
In a Linux network, enabling /net is very convenient for sharing NFS
exports.
/misc is very handy for PnP devices where distributors have broken PnP
by imbedding it in the desktop. I often operate by the commandline,
popups on the desktop and desktop icons are, at best, useless.
Even if you decide to not use autofs, I suggest you don't remove
standard parts such as those two directories, and especially /initrd,
should you ever find one;-)
