core files on my system have the pid appended, so:

  find / -name "core.[0-9]*" -exec ls -l {} \;

(might be a 2.6-ism)

Also, I would never rm the files without thinking about it first, hence
the change from rm to ls -l

But better is to find all large recent files:

  find / -size +1000000c -mtime -1 | xargs ls -l

prints all files changed more recently than one day ago and larger than 1MB
