In this folder there is also a file called core-readynasd (way lesser in size by the way) can I delete that file as well without consequences?
Yes.

One last question: I was warned that with no space available I run the risk that the NAS configuration files can get corrupted. Is this something I can check if this corruption already occured?
There's no bullet-proof check. If you can see the shares list in the admin web ui, you are probably ok. Also look in system->settings->services and make sure the services you use are all marked with the green bar.
Hi ronaldvr2132,
This message means that the OS partition is getting full. This is usually caused by apps installed on the OS partition. Have you tried installing any apps through SSH?
If you are comfortable in accessing the NAS via SSH, you can take a look on that said partition through that method. Otherwise, It would be best if you contact NETGEAR support so they can check your NAS and free the OS partition.
