Look in your XBMC data directory in userdata/addon_data/script.artistslideshow/ArtistInformation. I believe the Various Artists folder is hashed as 121caa73. Here's the thing though. If you just delete the file, AS will happily download it again. And if you edit it, every couple of weeks AS will refresh the file from online, overwriting your changes. The best thing to do would be to follow the wiki instructions on overriding the downloaded information with local information (it's section 5). The only override file you would need to create is artistbio.nfo. I the content section of the file, just put a couple of spaces.
Man did I know "fixing" Various Artists was going to open a can of worms. I don't really want to programmatically set the Various Artists bio to empty, because then I'm sure someone will complain when the bio doesn't show up. So the override method above is going to be the solution for folks who don't want the bio.
