Re: Is this deletable...

None of the files in /proc are really there--they're all, "pretend," 
files made up by the kernel, to give you information about the system 
and don't take up any hard disk space. 

/proc/kcore is like an "alias" for the memory in your computer. Its 
size is the same as the amount of RAM you have, and if you read it as 
a file, the kernel does memory reads.
