Well, yes I do.

You may want to delete the .swp file now.

Press ENTER or type command to continue

Hit Enter.

Now, re-edit the file:

:e

You'll be prompted about the swap file again, as expected:

Swap file "file.swp" already exists!

This time, hit D to delete it.

Based on: What's the easiest way to delete Vim swapfiles I've already recovered from?
