How do I locate and remove 'core' files?
In Uw7/OSR6, there are system files named

      core.4.html
      core.ph
      core.h
so searching for core* and rm'ing that would be an oops. What is safer, is a find with an rm that confirms before removing the file so that you can spare the core.ph file and others.
All core files in Uw7/OSR6 that are dumped by processes are named core.PID; where PID is the processes id. To remove them, try the following:
find / -name "core.*" -ok rm {} \;
Then press 'y' for the core files you want to delete that look like
core.1234 core.123 core.12345
Then press 'n' for any files you need to keep.
