Unable to remove file which does not exist

Weird one - I'm trying to remove a folder but the system believes a file is preventing it from proceeding.

[root@ESXi:/vmfs/volumes/5f63db10-27ef5ce4-343a-4ccc6aacf6e7/corrupt-folder] ll

ls: ./vmx-9800-CL-6bbf840bbe070d9eec91181669a3e05c53e050e3-1.vswp: No such file or directory

total 1152

drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         77824 Oct  9 06:17 .

drwxr-xr-t    1 root     root         77824 Oct 10 14:17 ..

When I try and remove it manually, I get the same roadblock:

[root@ESXi:/vmfs/volumes/5f63db10-27ef5ce4-343a-4ccc6aacf6e7/corrupt-folder] rm vmx-9800-CL-6bbf840bbe070d9eec91

181669a3e05c53e050e3-1.vswp

rm: can't remove 'vmx-9800-CL-6bbf840bbe070d9eec91181669a3e05c53e050e3-1.vswp': No such file or directory

Any ideas?
