| When editing a file using vi, temporary file such as .test.swp file is created. As far as I know, it should be deleted automatically after save and quit editing the file. But it is not. For example, 1. edit a file name "test" 2. save and exit vi editor with ":wq!" 3. there still remains .test.swp The .swp file is deleted after pc reboot. Any clue? |
