can you run 

ls -lah /shared/core
and see when those core dumps were created?

Also, you can remove the ISO files if it's the current or previous version of the OS or a newer version that you don't plan to upgrade to anytime soon (just put it back when you want to do the upgrade).

If the core files are old, and aren't being generated regularly then just delete them. However if they are, i suggest generating a qkview, getting an md5sum of the core files 

md5sum filename > filname.md5
and then uploading the lot to F5 support.

Once you have an MD5 hash of the core files you can copy them off and delete them from the F5.

Cheers,
