What is taking up so much space in the system category on my computer, and how do i get rid of it (please)?

When I look in the terminal, I see that the symbol . folder is taking up almost 60 gigabytes of storage. What is this and can I get rid of it? It won't let me open it and it doesn't have a name, except for the . symbol.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
