I have a habit of creating a folder called soft inside the root directory, as in /soft. I usually put manually installed softwares there.

My question is if I perform an upgrade such as 14.10 -> 15.04 will ubuntu erase that folder?

No. Only if you re-install from scratch with a format, should it be deleted. Also, the /opt/ directory is already standardized as a place to install things manually to.
