Windows10Upgrade Folder - Can I delete or move it?

I just completed the recent anniversary upgrade to Windows 10. When I finished I keep getting a Low Disk Space Warning message for my Recovery (D drive. I looked at the Recovery drive and saw two items:

• A file that says "recovery"
• a file folder that says "Windows10Upgrade"

So here's my question: Do I need the "Windows10Upgrade" folder any longer and if so why. I would like to delete or move it because it may relieve the Low Disk Space Warning message for my Recovery (D drive.

Can anyone help me with this question?
