The RealmWork's World Builder Guide, in the "Structure Management" section, clarifies what is safe to delete. See subsection 2.3.4 "Global Structure Protection" on page 35. The manual itself is available from the help tab of an open realm in RealmWorks.

The general rule is to create your own custom category or tag domain and hide the Global ones you don't want to use. Similarly, you can hide tags you don't want.

That said, you do have the ability to remove global protection and delete categories and tags that are added by default. Only do this if you are sure you will not import content from the content market or other game masters using RW. This has been discussed in other threads. One user, Parody, deleted ALL global categories (if I remember correctly) and created everything from scratch for his Paranoia campaign, but he knows exactly what he is getting into and doesn't plan to import anything into that realm.

If you have any uncertainty, HIDE, don't delete.

On the other hand, you are only affecting the one realm. Removing protection from and deleting global categories from one realm will have no effect on your other realms. You are not going to break RW at most, you'll create issues for importing third-party content into the specific realm whose categories and tags you've deleted.
