+<title>What does it mean when a file has <quote>~</quote> in its name?</title>
+
+<p>Files with <quote>~</quote> at the end of their names (for example, <file>example.txt~</file>) are hidden files. They are often created automatically by applications as backup copies of documents. It is normally safe to delete them, but check before you do.</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>
