What Are The Windows Files With Tildes?


Hello friends,Files that suddenly appear with a tilde in front of them are commonly backup files of a file that was opened or is still currently open. For example, lets assume you were working on a file known as myfile.doc, when this file is opened in Microsoft Word, Word will automatically create a file known as ~$myfile.doc. This is a temporary file and is used to help recover data that might have been lost if the program stopped working or the program was suddenly turned off while you were working on a file.

These backup files are commonly created in the same directory that the original file is in and are usually hidden files. In addition, these files should be automatically deleted after the file or program being used to edit the file is correctly closed.


           Thanks friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
