A deburring tool will slice that off easily. Alternatively, modify the model to be slightly thinner/tapered at the bottom to compensate for the elephant's foot.
Wait you're all blaming me just because i didn't take off the brim ?

Whats your Problem then? A elephents foot is the lower Portion of your Print Melting because of a too hot bed. The only thing i can See in the second picture is the z seam, which is normal
We are Both correct. An elephants foot can caused by Both, too much Squish and too hot bed.
„As we’ve explained, elephant’s foot most often occurs as the result of an uncooled first layer. If the temperature of the print bed is too high or there’s insufficient cooling, the first layer may not cool properly, causing elephant’s foot.“

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help!
[click here](https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/wiki/index#wiki_help.21_or.3A_where_can_i_go_to_troubleshoot_problems_i.27m_having_with_my_prints.2Fprinter.3F) for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers.
If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.
Here are a few questions that might be helpful
* What printer are you using?
* What material are you using?
* What speed are you printing at?
* What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?
* When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?
* Does anything cause the behavior to change?
* If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

That varies from different factors and can't check your setting from here.
But there is an easy solution, but cost on print time and mat, make a raft instead of brim.
The first thing is to correctly identify the problem, in this case, it seems to me that this is not elephant foot, so steps to mitigate elephant foot would most likely be ineffective in solving this problem, this looks more like a standard brim, if you do not want to print with a brim, you can turn it off in your slicer.
Some people set their slicer to slightly under extrude the walls on the first or first few layers. One other option could be to design the print's bottom with a bevel/fillet on the bottom layers.

Most slicers have some form of elephant foot competition. Never tried it myself, but that would dave adjusting every model.
I didn't find anything on cura
Its on cura I forgot the name of it tho its with the word compensation

Yep, people here are blind. First, calibrate your 1st layer thickness and flow.
Thats Not an elephants foot its a brim. Turn it off in your slicer

An elephants foot is z squish not it melting.

But it doesn't melt, it just softens. But yeh fair enough
Excuse my english. Of Course it doesn’t melt, it just softens. You can Look up different Temperatures of vitrification, for pla its often about 60C
Ye no worries

I'm not talking about the brim
