A snip from 'man procfs' shows:
DESCRIPTION
The process file system, or procfs, implements a view of the system pro-
cess table inside the file system. It is normally mounted on /proc, and
is required for the complete operation of programs such as ps(1) and
w(1).
There's little more in there, nothing to be deleted or changed, that's
up to the kernel.
Furthermore, as you see, /proc only takes 4KB space so I figure noone
shouldn't worry about the space it takes unless running some ancient
mainframe or anything similar.
