That's a control file of some sort. My guess would be that it's created
by an xview app you run to view graphics. It's unclear why you'd have
more than one of them though.
In any case rm -rf .xvpics will do what you want but it's dangerous as
the command will recursively remove the directory tree listed in the
command without any queries. Don't make the mistake of doing
rm -rf / home/me/.xvpics
as it'll remove everything from the / tree.
