You can use Part to access the parts of any normal expression.
DiracDelta[-10 + x + ξ][[1]]
(* -10 + x + ξ *)
In this case you can also use First since you want the first part.
Another common need is to pull out the arguments of a function when that function is buried in a larger expression. For this you can use Cases
Cases[
{w''[z] + k^2 w[z] == DiracDelta[z], w[0] == 0, w'[0] == 1},
DiracDelta[arg_] :> arg, Infinity]
(* {z} *)

What about
DiracDelta[-10 + x + [Xi]] /. DiracDelta -> Identity
(**)
More generally(also works for several arguments)
Apply[List ,DiracDelta[-10 + x + [Xi]] ]
