<title>What is a file with a "~" at the end of its name?</title>
26
<p>Files with a "~" at the end of their names (for example,
27
<file>example.txt~</file>) are automatically created backup copies of documents
28
edited in the <app>gedit</app> text editor or other applications. It is
29
safe to delete them, but there is no harm to leave them on your computer.</p>
31
<p>These files are hidden by default. If you are seeing them, that is because
32
you either selected <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Hidden Files</gui></guiseq> or
33
pressed <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>H</key></keyseq>. You can hide them again
34
by repeating either of these steps.</p>
36
<p>These files are treated in the same way as normal hidden files. See
37
<link xref="files-hidden"/> for advice on dealing with hidden files.</p>
