I created a file named xxx on my Desktop and then I (re)moved it using terminal. Now when I execute ls on Desktop I see a file named xxx~ that is not visible at GUI. What does it mean?

You will find your answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/83026/prevent-gedit-from-creating-files-with-the-tilde-suffix; this question is a duplicate of that one (or at least you will find your answer there). – Organic Marble Nov 08 '15 at 04:02

1@OrganicMarble is right. I just couldn't see the fact that how all those files are derived from other files that I used with gedit. The question he/she marked mine as a duplicate of has all the answers and more I'd need. Thank you. – SarpSTA Nov 08 '15 at 13:50
