Mar 3, 2014 at 17:28 comment added David C I am sorry, my knowledge of algebraic geometry is very very elementary. I hope that the question sounds better now.

Mar 3, 2014 at 17:13 comment added abx Donu is right, you can contract only divisors which are negative in some sense. For instance you can contract an irreducible curve $C$ on a smooth projective surface iff $C^2<0$.
Mar 3, 2014 at 17:10 comment added Donu Arapura I think you have the wrong sign, very ample divisors are not (birationally) contractible.
