Package: systemd-coredump
Version: 245.4-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
According to the man page of coredumpctl there is no way to delete a core dump
that it manages. If you find the file name and rm it then it stays in the
output of "coredumpctl list" with status "missing".
It's a reasonable expectation that everything which can be created can be
deleted. This is especially true of core dumps which can take more space than
desired and which can potentially have confidential data which needs to be
deleted.

Does does have a way to delete old coredumps and does it automatically.
$ grep coredump /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/*
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf:d /var/lib/systemd/coredump 0755 root
root 3d
Files that are older then 3 days are deleted automatically.
You can tweak those settings obviously by providing your own tmpfile
snippet.
