<title>What is a file with a "~" at the end of its name?</title>
30
<p>Files with a "~" at the end of their names (for example,
31
<file>example.txt~</file>) are automatically created backup copies of documents
32
edited in the <app>gedit</app> text editor or other applications. It is
33
safe to delete them, but there's no harm to leave them on your computer.</p>
35
<p>These files are hidden by default. If you are seeing them, that is because
36
you either selected <gui>Show Hidden Files</gui> (in the
37
<media type="image" src="figures/go-down.png">down</media> menu of the
38
<app>Files</app> toolbar) or pressed
39
<keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>H</key></keyseq>. You can hide them again by
40
repeating either of these steps.</p>
42
<p>These files are treated in the same way as normal hidden files. See
43
<link xref="files-hidden"/> for advice on dealing with hidden files.</p>
