SOLVED Big 'core' file (1.3G)

[mmmmh]

Why is this file so big? Can it be pruned?

$ ls -hs MagicMirror/core
1.3G MagicMirror/core

I would do

file MagicMirror/core

to see if it says something useful.
Then delete it.
Only worth debugging when it is created more often.
I suppose everything works okay, when not then one could investigate further.

Thanks for the quick reply. I looked at the file details and the creation date. It’s from a while back and knowing now that its a core dump I’ll delete it.
