   Yes you can delete the directory and its content.   
      
   The command mkinitrd has an option to clear the tree first ( -c ) and it   
   is recommended.   
      
   The script /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/setup.01.mkinitrd generates during   
   the installation process, a command line for mkinitrd which includes the   
   -c option to get a fresh, clean initrd image based on the new kernel.
