Looks like a core dump to me! Apparently, you have a program that crashed on you so it would generate a core dump. It's safe to remove it.

You may have closed a terminal window when something was running (like octave, except not octave because they use a different name for the file).

Core dump/crash report.

Delete it if you aren't having problems you'd like to diagnose.
