^ It's a file that was created by lazarus the first time I ran it
after installation

No idea. I have no file.file

Not only did laz create file.file but when I deleted it, laz told me
it couldn't find file.file and
asked if it should create it.

So what is the content of it? Where is it located? Have you got any
extra package installed?

And what OS are you on?

this looks like a project / project-session file to me.
Normally ProjectName.lpi

I don't know why your Lazarus insists on file.file.

However, once you saved a project, Lazarus remembers (in
enviromentoptions.xml), so it can re-open the project next time. (But
I tested, that doesn't normally ask if the file doesn't exist)

On mine when I open lazarus I get a message box that says it doesn't
exist and asks
to create it.  If I say yes, it creates it and loads it as part of the
default project.

If I then select New --> Application I get a new default app without
file.file.

open a terminal in the dir where your project is located and run the
commandCode: [Select]grep -iIR "file.file" *
