I'm running Manjaro KDE and the /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ folder is around 500MB. What is it there for, and is it safe to delete it? sudo systemctl status shows running and no failed units.

/var/lib/systemd/coredump is where systemd-coredump stores core dumps. You can list them with coredumpctl.
If you don’t plan on investigating your core dumps any further, you can delete the contents of the directory.

Oh, okay. I had some coredump entries in
systemctl statusbut I was able to resolve them without looking at the logs.– ErikJul 21, 2019 at 20:22 -

@Bulletmagnet given the context of the question I think it’s a fair assumption that the user could become root if necessary. Jul 15, 2022 at 16:46

deleting is temporary fix. I keep getting huge chromium coredumps when chromium crashes. If you are not doing dev work where you need coredumps then disable them with these instructions. cyberciti.biz/faq/…– DKeblerMar 21 at 16:29

@DKebler or you can configure
systemd-coredump, see freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/… Mar 21 at 16:37
