This is the pertinent code. It removes core and backup files.
And as you can see from the comment, it isn't safe.
Ignore it, comment it out, or uncomment the find and edit
to taste.
cd /tmp
# This is not safe, you need to decide what is appropriate for your
# system. Leave a warning note for now.
echo "You did not enable the cleaning of / in /etc/daily!"
#
#find / ! -fstype local -a -prune -o \
# \( -name '[#,]*' -o -name '.#*' -o -name a.out -o -name *.core \
# -o -name '*.CKP' -o -name '.emacs_[0-9]*' \) \
# -a -atime +3 -exec rm -f -- {} \;
