Can I delete the folder called "Home (from old Mac)"?

Hi there,
I just upgraded to Lion and see an empty folder in my HD called "home (from old Mac)" Is it safe to delete this? Thanks guys!

Probably. I'm fairly certain I've seen a folder by that name in my root directory also… not sure how it got there, but it's long been deleted. Actually… I've seen it creep up a couple times in the past and I keep deleting it. Some app apparently is putting it there. I want to say it was rEFIt, but I can't swear to it.

Anywho… so long as the name is "home" (and not your home folder) and you don't have a user by that name, and it is empty, drop it in the Trash and leave it be for a bit to ensure nothing whacky happens.

Thanks. I did and so far so good! Thanks for the reply!
