Is this deletable...

Hi folks,

  Just piddling around, I came upon a 'file' in /dev called 'core'. It's of a 
type called 'program crash data'.

  The name seems familiar for some reason but what's got me puzzled is that it's 
1016MB in size.

  If this is 'crash data', do I absolutely need it on my system? Is there going 
to be bad things happen if I delete this thing?

  Thanks for any info and advice on this.

  JB
