How do I edit a swap file in Ubuntu?

To change the size of this swap file:

1. Disable the swap file and delete it (not really needed as you will overwrite it) sudo swapoff /swapfile sudo rm /swapfile.
2. Create a new swap file of the desired size. With thanks to user Hackinet, you can create a 4 GB swap file with the command sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile.
