Is it safe to delete the com.apple.coresymbolicationd folder from system cache? Mine is 33gb

[Barncore]

I'm running a 80gb partition of El Capitan that i've constantly been battling with for months. Every time i delete files my free hard drive space mysteriously disappears again. I think i've finally found the culprit with OmniDiskSweeper:

Is it safe to delete that folder? I don't want to break the system but i need the space.

Even if i could just delete a few gb of it so that i can use my system again properly for the rest of the week (right now there are 0 bytes fee space).

Or any other strategies to free up space? (i've deleted all non-essential stuff already. Even some stuff i regret deleting)

P.s. I'm aware that 80gb is way too small, and i do plan to reformat by entire hard drive next week (the HD is 1tb, that partition is 80gb), but for now there is audio work that must finish by the end of the week on the system the way it is.

This file (and the others with it) all appear to be "cache" file of some sort.

I think you could delete them all, without any consequences.

IF you're worried that the Mac won't run right, what I would do first is create a bootable cloned backup with either CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.
With a bootable cloned backup, you can boot right back up (if you can't boot from the internal drive).

But again, I believe you can delete ALL these caches without problems.
I'm wondering how they got that large in the first place.

I'm running Low Sierra on my Mac Mini, and (following the folder hierarchy you show above), I looked in my own
System/Library/Caches/com.applecoresymbolicationd

Result ... 0 bytes.
I don't see anything "in there" at all.

I was wondering what "com.applecoresymbolicationd" represents, so I looked here:

I'm not sure why -your- cache would grow so large.

Hope something here helps.

Alright will do that. Thanks.
