Almost always no. There may be some special exceptions, but I can't think of any at the moment. What makes you think we can omit them? Did you have any specific examples in mind?

I didn't
We can omit the method preposition "in", the time preposition "for", and can do the time preposition "at/ in/ on" according to cases.
