Obviously from your package, so you could use a tool like 'grep' locally.

We can just turn to Gabor's handy CRAN mirror at GitHub, open the
repo at github.com/cran/fda and enter the filename in the search.
Second hit is

  writeLines(d2a, 'fdaMatlabPath.m')

which is obviously a file _you write_ and not not delete just as
the package checking diagnostic suggests. As frequently suggested here or on
r-package-devel (where this belonged), prefix paths by `tempdir()` or change
there first.
