Dianne, Those are backup files. To get to them in Nautilus, browse to the folder they're in (for example /home/Dianne/Documents/ ) and press Ctrl + H. This shows hidden files and folders. From there, you can just delete the files,then press ctrl + H again to hide hidden files and folders. If you don't hide them again, you'll find a lot of extra (configuration) folders in your Home directory.
Hope that helps! 2009/4/1 Dianne Reuby <pramc...@yahoo.co.uk> > I'm finding more and more files that have duplicates - presumably backup > files, as they have a tilde in the file name.
