first, locate the file.
2 way's to do this, using ilocate of find.
ilocate:
as root, type "updatedb && locate -i xpti.dat"
find:
as root, type "find / -name 'xpti.dat'"

after you located the file, remove it.
let's say the file is in the location /etc
then the command would be:
"rm /etc/xpti.dat -f"

this should do the trick.
