look inside .swarmArchiver, you will see it is saved window positions 
and such.  It is automatically recreated. No need to redelete, unless 
you encounter corruption again. Corruption usually happens due to a 
change of swarm versions or possibly because of a model crash. I have 
not seen it for a couple of years.
