What is this = /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.coresymbolicationd . if open a finder window and go to systems/library/case, I end up with a folder that has a red negative sign in it and the rest of the line, what does it mean?

It is used for debugging and analyzing crash reports. /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.coresymbolicationd/data was also about 600 MB on my account, so I guess it's normal. Deleting files in cache folders is generally safe, and /System/Library/Caches/ is even excluded from Time Machine backups.
