Hi.

Still learning Emacs but happy with it so far. One thing i’m trying to find out is this. I’m OK with Emacs creating recovery files from which i can, well, recover my work after emacs is closed. However, if I save my files, I have no need for these #filename# or filename~ files that populate my folders. Is there a way to make emacs keep creating these recovery files, but deleting them if I *save* my actual files?

    there is some ways to solve this, one is not creating this kind of files, not recommended, another way is changing the path are this is saved, setting `backup-directory-alist` and `auto-save-file-name-transforms` you can change where this files is stored, you can also use no-litterring to this.
