Hello
I am plenty of file in /var/lib/system-upgrade
Why ?
The system upgrade process downloads all the RPMs needed to upgrade the system to that directory, then creates a symlink called "/system-upgrade" to point at it. When the system reboots in the upgrade mode, it uses the symlink to actually upgrade the system.
If your upgrade is complete and clean, I think you can remove the files in /var/lib/system-upgrade.
This should happen automatically on the first boot after a successfull upgrade.
Didn't happen on 2 of the 3 machines I updated from F21 to F22, but perhaps there were crumbs left over from the upgrade. They all booted and run just fine and I don't think I saw any weirdness, but perhaps there was something the first boot didn't like. My machines do tend to become sorta "muddy" over time (I beat the kapok out of them) and anything's possible.
No, I haven't upgraded to F23 yet. Still waiting for the dust to settle a bit more.

The question remains> Is it safe to delete this directory (given that rebooting does not)?
