      Can that folder be cleaned up, deleted some of the stuff in it?

        You could, though it doesn't take up much space and can be used to recover from a damaged kernel. I would recommend leaving it unless you have a very good reason to remove it.

          I get it for a few upgrades for the beta’s. After a few though gets kinda full. I’ll keep recent updates.

            I upgrade numerous boxes daily between snapshots and have never seen it become a problem. Currently I see two previous versions stored there, ~200MB.
