Appears to be coffee ground buildup. Are your beans typically covered in oil like a dark roast or some type of flavoring? If so I would recommend a bean less oily or more routine cleaning.

You should be able to remove the burr and clean the residue out with cotton swabs or paper towel.

Check the bean exit path/chute is not blocked. Maybe there's build up preventing the beans from exiting so it ends up regrinding all the beans in the chamber.
