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.
