Remove hidden core dump files to restore drive space
Authored by: Straitsfan on May 14, '09 04:35:55PM

Hi:

Just came across your post about core files. I'm learning about them as well in my Unix book for OS 10 by Dave Taylor. I did a find for all my core files and found these:

/Applications/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core
/Applications/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core
/Applications/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core
/Applications/eclipse/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core
/Users/chrislandalusa/Documents/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/Chapter03_Listing01/org.eclipse.jdt.core
/Users/chrislandalusa/Documents/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/first project/org.eclipse.jdt.core
/Users/chrislandalusa/Documents/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/ShowAFrame.java/org.eclipse.jdt.core
/Users/chrislandalusa/Documents/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core
/Users/chrislandalusa/Documents/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core
/Users/chrislandalusa/Documents/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.mylyn.bugzilla.core
/Users/chrislandalusa/Documents/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.team.cvs.core
/Volumes/WINDOWS/Documents and Settings/Chris/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core
/Volumes/WINDOWS/Documents and Settings/Chris/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core

I don't think, given the locations, that theses are core files from a crashed program (unless I'm reading them wrong). Are they? or are they files for my eclipse application that also have a .core extension?

I went to the /core folder on my mac and found nothing there.
