Look at /etc/fstab for swap entries.

Fix up your /etc/fstab so that only the partion is listed for swap.
Then do a swapon -a. This will enable the swap (and make sure your fstab
entry is correct).
swapon -s
should show it in use:
thune:~# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/hda2 partition 132040 16216 1
/dev/hde1 partition 131504 16364 1
/dev/hdf1 partition 131504 16336 1
/dev/hdg1 partition 131504 16364 1
/dev/hdh1 partition 131504 16308 1
Then turn off the swapfile with swapoff /path/to/swapfile:
thune:~# swapoff /dev/hdh1
Then verify the results:
thune:~# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/hda2 partition 132040 16212 1
/dev/hde1 partition 131504 16364 1
/dev/hdf1 partition 131504 16332 1
/dev/hdg1 partition 131504 16364 1
Of course, before doing any of this, read and understand the swapon/swapoff
man page.
