What we do is rename the 8.1.5 directory to indicate it is the old directory (i.e, 8.1.5_old). If nothing breaks after a week or two, then the directory and its contents are removed.

After upgrading oracle database from V8.1.5 to V8.1.6, a new directory is created to store new version's files and the old directory of old version 8.1.5 is still there. Is is safe to remove the old directory to save disk spaces on the disk? Is there any files being linked to the old version after upgrading?

Regards,
David
