After installing the views module I noticed my disk usage jumped to over 1GB. I checked my site and noticed these files that were created right after installing the views module:

public_html/core.29113 73.45 Meg
public_html/core.7535 73.20 Meg
public_html/core.1142 73.19 Meg
public_html/core.29719 73.06 Meg
public_html/core.7801 72.94 Meg
public_html/core.30192 72.54 Meg
public_html/core.30214 72.41 Meg
public_html/core.1042 71.91 Meg
public_html/core.24833 71.64 Meg
public_html/core.24910 71.64 Meg
public_html/core.29163 71.00 Meg
public_html/core.28268 70.97 Meg
public_html/core.28425 70.87 Meg

Are these created by the views module?

I'm on Windows and am seeing huge jumps in memory usage - always credited to views cache. I've gone from 96M to 128M for a site where nothing has changed except the upgrade to 5. Anyone else seeing this?

My only guess is that it's due to the caching of Views, that was introduced in Views 1.6?

using Drupal 6.6 and have exactly the same symptom. Have 7 50MB files on the root folder.
I use Views and don't like the idea of disabling it.

Is it safe to delete those files? any solution?

I don't see these in my install. These look like core dumps from a databse? Corrupted tables maybe?
