Yes, you can delete the folder "Old Firefox Data." Rather than duplicating information, this topic has more information about deleting that folder after a reset: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956721

When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder. Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.

It is possible to recover data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
