I very much doubt that any such damage would occur by deleting it, but
the following incantation is one answer:

tal% ls -alh .xsession-errors
-rw------- 1 chrisb chrisb 33K Sep  9 17:40 .xsession-errors

tal% :> .xsession-errors
tal% ls -alh .xsession-errors
-rw------- 1 chrisb chrisb 0 Sep  9 21:25 .xsession-errors
