IMO you're being blinded by /etc/fstab and -a. Rather, use /proc/swaps
to see what the kernel knows, and stop using -a. Cut and paste what
you do and the output, rather than all this "doesn't work" etc.

I'm guessing that on a parallel track, you need to examine the startup
files of whatever this beast is, presumably not Debian, and find some
occurrence of swapon that you can, in your jargon, "nuke".

Cheers,
David.
