When you exit Vim the existing viminfo will be merged with your current
state. Thus if the viminfo contains an A mark and your current Vim
doesn't, the A mark in the viminfo file is kept. This is intentional.
There is not much use in deleting the A mark in the viminfo file, and
keeping the last action would require storing a timestamp, which gets
too complicated.
