You could delete your present /opt directory, which should be empty, 
(please check first!) then rename the old /home directory to  /opt

It's a useful place to put pet projects, tar and run files, especially 
if it has it's own partition. That's where I store pictures, music and 
video files. Then I create links, (Music, Videos, Documents)on my 
home/username directory to there. Then if you need a clean install or 
recover from a crash, just recreate the links and you're done. I always 
keep a copy of xorg.conf there too.

My two cents, Ric
