XMLRPC.php file is needed to posting directly on your blogs using clients such as TextMate and Flock. It is also needed for receiving ping-backs and trackbacks to your site from other blogs. If you have no need for ping-backs, trackbacks or remote posting you can delete the file, but I would suggest to rename the file to something instead of deleting the file completely.
