It is the file /proc/kcore which for some reason looks so big. Just exclude /proc from your folders list to get a more realistic result.

/proc/kcore specifically is a file which maps directly to every available byte in your virtual memory. It is a system file, provided by the virtual procfs filesystem, and is not a real file.
