<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>
