<title>What is a file with a "~" at the end of its name?</title>
24
<p>Files with a "~" at the end of their names (for example,
25
<file>example.txt~</file>) are automatically created backup copies of documents
26
edited in the <app>gedit</app> text editor or other applications. It is
27
safe to delete them, but there's no harm to leave them on your computer.</p>
29
<p>These files are hidden by default. If you are seeing them, that is because
30
you either selected <gui>Show Hidden Files</gui> (in the
31
<media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/go-down.png"><span its:translate="yes">down</span></media> menu of the
32
<app>Files</app> toolbar) or pressed
33
<keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>H</key></keyseq>. You can hide them again by
34
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>
