Find and delete all core files

Locate and remove all core files in system using the find command.

find / -name core -exec rm {} \;

The find command replaces the {} characters in the command above with the filenames that it finds. You must include the \ immediately before the ; character.

See the comments for a more advanced method of accomplishing this.
