Reclaim space in /var/symantec/OpsCenterServer for upgrade to OpsCenter 8

I want to upgrade to 8.0. We ran out of space when I tried it the first time. Can these old directories (7.5.0.1 - 7720_orig) be removed to reclaim space? I assume these are just old backups from upgrades in the past.  The tech wasn't sure when I opened a case so I figured I would ask the masses.  Thanks in advance.

    I usually remove those very old and keep the last-version dir, in your case I would keep only 7.7.2 dir and remove the rest. There is really no point to rollback to such old versions.

    If you have been using the current version for months without issues, there is also little to no value to rollback even to the previous version.
