After upgrading oracle database from V8.1.5 to V8.1.6, a new directory is
created to store new version's files and the old directory of old version
8.1.5 is still there. Is is safe to remove the old directory to save disk
spaces on the disk? Is there any files being linked to the old version
It depends on whether or not you are talking about your old
$ORACLE_HOME. You may still have shared lib dependancies there. You
don't give enough information in your post to be absolutely certain so
you might consider relinking if this is the case.

Just now getting to 8.1.6? Do you wait for a version to be desupported
before you upgrade to it? Just kidding, I'm still on 8.1.6 myself.
Are we talking data files or program files? Not knowing how you did the
upgrade, it is hard for me to make a blanket statement.
Look at file
The best pratice is rename the old directory to a new name and wait to
see if you have problem.

What we do is rename the 8.1.5 directory to indicate it is the old directory
(i.e, 8.1.5_old). If nothing breaks after a week or two, then the directory
and its contents are removed.

I think that's a good idea.
