My home directory is full of files called core.nnnnn, do I need them.

No, you don’t (probably). They’re core dump files, if this means nothing to you then don’t worry about them – just delete them to reclaim space.
If the name does mean something to you please let the systems team know which program(s) is/are dumping core regularly so we can have a look at it/them.
