i've tried deleting the file main.conf.php.swp, no error occurs but , i don't think anything is being deleted, looks like I've tried most how to's out there but, whenever i try to edit this file this prompt comes up :

E325: ATTENTION
Found a swap file by the name ".main.conf.php.swp"
owned by: root dated: Mon Mar 7 17:04:18 2011

NEWER than swap file!

(1) Another program may be editing the same file.
If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two
different instances of the same file when making changes.
Quit, or continue with caution.

(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r main.conf.php"
to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").
If you did this already, delete the swap file ".main.conf.php.swp"
to avoid this message.

This all began when i used CTRL+Z to exit out of the VI editor, rookie mistake , yes, I am a rookie

thank you for your help.
