Hi All

My website is getting a little bloated size wise after a number of years. There are two particlularly large file files (60 plus megs and 130 plus megs) in my cgi-bin both named core.12345 (not the real number) .

Both date from 3rd June 2009.

Do you know if I can safetly delete them?

Many Thanks for taking the time to look.

They're nothing to do with Actinic and are probably some sort of crash report dump. If you're sure that you've no non-Actinic stuff running you should be OK deleting them.

Wait for a few other replies just in case I'm wrong.

I took a back up and deleted it and all seems well.
