Don't screw with that -- it takes NO disk space ...
Remember...EVERYTHING on Unix and Linux is a file....
including system memory.
The entire /proc directory is a virtual filesystem --
it's not on any disk drive ANYWHERE.
/proc/kcore is all of kernal memory presented as a file.
Don't touch it unless you are George Goble (whom I have
witnessed tuning the kernel parameters of a running
kernal using a symbolic debugger...with 50+ user logged
in and doing their work... and only AFTER obtaining the
desired performance, recompiling the kernel to match
his tuning)

My system looks like this:
Device Size Mount point Free
sda2 965.1MB / 0B
sda3 60.8MB /boot 46.8MB
sda5 9.8GB /usr 4.9GB
sda6 2.0GB /var 1.2GB
sda7 2.0GB /opt 906.3MB
sda8 1011.4MB /tmp 926.4MB
sda9 257.3GB /home 154.1GB
I've been downloading openSUSE 11.0 Alpha1, via ktorrent for the past 24
hours, but other than that I'm only doing what I always do - read email,
news, browse the web, play music.
Your problem is that you failed to make a /home partition,
and your personal files have filled up the root partition.
