I *think* that's your system image. Leave it alone, it does no harm.

4.11 I have a huge /proc/kcore! Can I delete it?
None of the files in /proc are really there--they're all, ``pretend,''
files made up by the kernel, to give you information about the system
and don't take up any hard disk space.
/proc/kcore is like an `alias' for the memory in your computer. Its
size is the same as the amount of RAM you have, and if you read it as
a file, the kernel does memory reads.
