Do you mean that XAMPP asks you to "delete a file in the installation folder"? In that case your database configuration may be wrong because this question comes up only when the installation is about to connect to a remote database server. Usually the XAMPP database resides on "localhost", your workstation.

If you need to connect Joomla in XAMPP to a database hosted on a different workstation or server, the file with a random name can be found from the folder 'installation' in the document root, the main Joomla folder.

The following page explains the extra check during the database installation:
