I am cleaning up my HDD before I try to upgrade to Trisquel 12. I found these apparent coredump files in the /var directory. Is it OK to delete these? Also, why are such files accumulating? They are huge.
Thanks!

Yes but you may also wish to look into which program is crashing and why. If you do file core.171 for example and see the name of a program which is a start.

Ooooh. They are tmp files from Systemd, all from last February. I guess I have to switch to Devuan!
I tried to delete but no luck. In fact, I appear to have made things behave very strangely. The file size is now a question mark, but the contents are marked "empty". The file creation date is now today instead of February.
