There are no stated solutions. However, deleting the outlier in your data is not a good idea, especially if the data point which seems to be an outlier isn't there due to a statistical error or error in sampling, but is actually there because it is a valid result.

If you were to delete this data point, it would mean you would delete a valuable and interesting aspect of your data which might be crucial for further research.
