The .swp file is a normal part of vim operation. If you exit the file in
a normal fashion, vim will delete the .swp file.

If you open another window on the same file, then both windows will be
fighting to edit the same file with indeterminate results.

If you exit without letting vim do this cleanup, you'll get that warning
when you reopen the file. This can happen if you shut down your computer
with vim windows open. Exit all files before terminating vim and this
won't happen.
