Fallout 4: Deal with a Deathclaw
There are some quests spoiler ahead so beware! I will try to keep the detail to a minimum.
Basically I am trying to clear out a certain location that has a certain deathclaw in the witch muesum.
What kind of weapon can deal substantive damage to a 30 level or higher deathclaw?
I do have a companion with me and I can sneak him/her close and deal some proxy damage that way. But we all know they take forever!
But otherwise I don't have lot of option because of the location which is indoor especially grenades and other that does aoe explosive.

Just like almost everything else in the game, you should shoot the deathclaw in the head with crits until it dies.
This requires that your character has the appropriate perks, mostly the luck ones.
With the Deliverer, most of the luck perks, and gear that reduces AP costs, I can fire 20 rounds in a single bar of AP, and every third shot or so is a crit. If that doesn't kill my target, then a single crit with Kellog's Pistol completely refills my AP bar and we go again.
Add some Psycho and/or Jet to that, and even an on-level deathclaw will die before it closes the distance.
Like I said, that works on pretty much everything. In my last few playthroughs, I killed the courser in the Greenetech building on my first bar of AP before he got a shot off.
If you didn't set your character up in an effective manner, then hiding and trying to blow it up will probably work, as described in Feral Chimp's answer.

Deathclaw weaknesses in Fallout 4 Deathclaws are incredibly heavily armoured so will resist a lot of damage of all types, especially energy and radiation. This includes their heads, which take minimal damage as well; the weak spot on a deathclaw is actually their soft, unarmoured tummy.Can You Beat Fallout 4 As A Deathclaw?

Answer 2
Personally, I handle Deathclaws (and all other big mobs) the same way:
- Fully upgrade the Combat Shotgun for maximum damage
- Pop PsychoJet & Med-X
- Get just out of melee range and unload the magazineinto their head
- Repeat step 3 until dead
With this strategy at level 35+, I haven't had much last longer than the Jet, and if they do, one or two reloads afterwards and they're a loot pinata. I don't have a Legendary shotgun, and I think I've got only 1 rank in Rifleman, if that.
Answer 3
you can always find a place death claw cant reach you. a small door will do in this place. hide there and peak and hit. scale your damage up using phyco and other drugs if you want to speed up the process. mines are great in such situation too
