    <desc>These are backup files. They are hidden by default.</desc>

<title>What is a file with a <file>~</file> at the end of its name?</title>

  <p>Files with a <file>~</file> at the end of their names (for example,
  <file>example.txt~</file>) are automatically created backup copies of
  documents edited in the <app>gedit</app> text editor or other applications.
  It is safe to delete them, but there is no harm to leave them on your
  computer.</p>

  <p>These files are hidden by default. If you are seeing them, that is because
  you either selected <gui>Show Hidden Files</gui> (in the view options menu
  <!-- FIXME: Get a tooltip added for "View options" -->
  of the <app>Files</app> toolbar) or pressed
  <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>H</key></keyseq>. You can hide them again by
  repeating either of these steps.</p>

  <p>These files are treated in the same way as normal hidden files. See
  <link xref="files-hidden"/> for advice on dealing with hidden files.</p>
