Unfortunately, no one can be told what Redcore Linux is. You have to see it for yourself!

I have installed Redcore Linux on a 25 Gb partition. It seems to be taking up 20Gb despite my home folder being only 1.4 Gb. Why should it be taking up so much space and is there a way to clean up the system?

The ISO installer file available is/are only that size ~4.4 GB containing real ~ 17.5-20 GB compressed data
No one yet create the version of minimal ISO installer file containig minimal SO base files

There is no bloat inside. The reason it takes so much space is we don't split packages. For example, Ubuntu will split Mesa into 10 packages or more, and generally, they don't install development headers by default. We don't do this splitting, if you install mesa in Redcore, you will install a full package as it came from upstream, not just bits and pieces based on arbitrary reasons.
If you do development on an Ubuntu system, you will find out that you need to install a significant amount of packages which contain development headers, depending on your requirements and the space occupied will come close to Redcore. On Redcore you have everything ready from the get-go.
