You can use vim itself to modify the file, and your changes will stay put if you invoke it like this:

$ vim -i NONE ~/.viminfo

Starting vim with the -i option sets which viminfo file to use for that session. The special value NONE means that nothing is saved at all. This can be handy for editing other auto-generating files or sensitive data.

From man vim:

-i {viminfo}
When using the viminfo file is enabled, this option sets the filename
to use, instead of the default ~/.viminfo. This can also be used to
skip the use of the viminfo file, by giving the name NONE.
