I am a very beginner in Linux... I use Lubuntu Desktop..

Tell me please how to make a new fresh install of Lubuntu core?

I can't find Lubuntu core's iso file, and I can't find the direct download link for mini.iso...

Thank you.

The instructions are on this page. As @mikewhatever says there are no Lubuntu Core ISOs. Instead, the directions specify downloading an Ubuntu minimal ISO. It appears that the installer menu may offer you the option to do a Lubuntu Core installation, but if not, you can run the following from a terminal window after the installation is complete:

sudo -i
apt-get install lubuntu-core
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get autoclean
rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
reboot

Instead of installing Lubuntu Core you can also keep your current Lubuntu Desktop install and uninstall packages you don't want using Synaptic or one of the other tools provided with Lubuntu.

New Windows machines tend to use something called UEFI when booting which the minimal install ISOs don't support:

While the minimal iso image is handy, it isn't useful for installing on UEFI-based systems that you want to run in UEFI mode. The mini iso lacks the proper files for booting the computer in UEFI mode. Thus, the computer will boot in BIOS compatibility mode, and the installation will be in BIOS mode.

So I would say there's some extra potential to run into headaches, especially if you're dual-booting with Windows.

Maybe this could help someone...

aptitude

These packages are currently installed on your computer

A great Sunday to all ! :)
