I think some version of ndpd used to write out the drift file
when it exited. (Maybe I'm dreaming and that was just a
suggestion for purposes of discussion.)
So I would do
stop ntpd
delete the drift file
start ntpd
Then you know it got deleted.
An alternative would be
delete drift file
restart ntpd
check to make sure drift file is not there
