The .xmp "sidecar" file contains the data pertaining to the RAW files image conversion settings, ie exposure, contrast, WB etc. Deleting it will delete the conversion settings for it's associated RAW file.
In Adobe Bridge you can go to to Edit>Camera RAW Preferences, under "Save Image settings in:" you can change it from "sidecar ".xmp" files" to "Camera RAW database" (not having used this option I'm assuming all the RAW conversion image settings are saved in one database file, but I'm not sure) Or you can work with .dng files that have the image settings embedded into their file.
