Is this on Windows? Files and directories that begin "." on Windows computers generally hold settings from open-source software that is too lazy to follow platform convention. In UNIX/Linux they're hidden by default (a side effect of a shortcut to hide "." and ".."), but in Windows they're just irritating clutter — they should be in AppData and named sensibly.
Sometimes in Windows I mark directories as hidden and/or system to make them go away — the program that littered up my PC with garbage can still access it but I don't have to look at it any more.
Maybe .swt remembers Open/Save dialog layouts and last-used locations or some such. I suspect that deleting it would just lose something trivial like that.
