Error deleted a swap file

I attempted to delete a swap file (rm .<filename>.swp).

Now the system is trying to delete one file that doesn't exist anymore and the file is adding a number in increments to the name of the file it is attempting to delete (filename1.csv, filename2.csv)

The log says the filename1.csv does not exist, but the system is still trying to delete the non-existent file.

Could this be because I tried to delete the swap file?

NAME
xen-delete-image - Delete previously created Xen instances. SYNOPSIS
xen-delete-image [options] [--hostname=]imageName1 [--hostname=]imageName2 Help Options: --help Show help information. --manual Read the manual for this script. --version Show the version information and exit. --verbose Show diagnostic output. General options: --dir Specify the output directory where images were previously saved. --evms Specify the EVMS container to use. --lvm Specify the LVM volume to use. Specifying hosts: --hostname Specify the image name to delete. Testing options: --test Don't complain if we're not invoked by root. OPTIONS
--dir Specify the output directory where images were previously saved. --evms Specify the EVMS container where images were previously saved. --help Show help information. --hostname Specify the hostname to delete. --lvm Specify the LVM volume group where images were previously saved. --manual Read the manual for this script. --test Do not complain, or exit, if the script is not executed by the root user. --version Show the version number and exit. DESCRIPTION
xen-delete-image is a simple script which allows you to delete Xen instances which have previously been created by xen-create-image. You must be root to run this script as it removes the Xen configuration file from /etc/xen and potentially removes LVM and EVMS volumes. (When invoked with the '--test' flag the script will continue running, but will fail to remove anything which the user does not have permission to delete.) LOOPBACK EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have three images 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz', stored beneath /home/xen the first two may be deleted via: xen-delete-image --dir=/home/xen foo bar You may also delete them by running: xen-delete-image --dir=/home/xen --hostname=foo --hostname=bar (The matching Xen configuration files beneath /etc/xen will also be removed.) LVM EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have the volume group 'skx-vol' containing three Xen instances 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz' the first two may be deleted via: xen-delete-image --lvm=skx-vol foo bar This will remove the volumes 'foo-disk', 'foo-swap', 'bar-disk', and 'bar-swap'. Note that if the images were created with "--noswap" then the swap volumes will not be present, so will not need to be deleted. The Xen configuration files will also be removed from beneath /etc/xen. EVMS EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have the container 'mycontainer' containing three Xen instances 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz' the first two may be deleted via: xen-delete-image --evms=lvm2/mycontainer --hostname=foo --hostname=bar This will remove the volumes 'foo-disk', 'foo-swap', 'bar-disk', and 'bar-swap'. Note that if the images were created with "--noswap" then the swap volumes will not be present, so will not need to be deleted. The Xen configuration files will also be removed. AUTHORS
