How to erase  disk image??

I'd like to know how can I delete (erase) Apple disk image Media.

Normally when I open Disk utility I'm not able to see this. Only when I'm in Disk utility in Recovery Mode (⌘+R).

I'm not sure what that means and how can I erase it - that's why I'm asking

Here's how it looks:

This disk image is listed under "Disk images" section and it is external type of disk. It has also 2,14 GB in total.

How can I completely remove it?

I also tried typing

diskutil list

into Terminal when I was normally logged in. It wrote me:

I appreciate any help.

Don't try to delete it, it is part of the normal install process and will show up only when booted into Recovery.

I'm curious about this as well.  Does the "Apple disk image Media / OS X Base System" contain any personally identifiable information?  I'm preparing an early '09 24" iMac to go to another user.  I've followed the steps in this kdb article https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201065 as best as possible and want to make sure the drive retains no account information.  I am not able to select and erase the HW-named drive ("WDC WD1001...") after command+option+r reboot (see attached,) but did successfully securely erase "Macintosh HD" volume.  Is there anything left on the drive or in the Disk Image the next user could recover?

If you followed the steps in the Support Article, you are good to go. Apple Base System contains no personal info and is default on any Mac.

Thank you!
