Once you are sure the recovery is ok delete the swap file. Otherwise, you
will continue to get warning messages that the ".swp" file already exists.
Note: Recovering swap files is best-effort. Vim attempts to validate fields
and skip corrupted sections, but the swap file format is intended for files
you trust. A crafted swap file may trigger parser bugs; such reports are
treated as robustness issues rather than security vulnerabilities.
