That's the old Windows with all your data and so on. If you're sure you don't need anything of it anymore, you can delete it.
The best way to delete it is with shift-delete from Explorer (or whatever it's called in Windows 7).

You probably want to perform a disk clean up to remove the old files: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder.
