Do you use Gedit?
Have you enabled auto save option? (You should, if you haven't!)
Then you must be sick of those Backup files (those ending with a '~'), because they are created automatically by Gedit but are never removed automatically.
RMB or ReMove Backup is a small python script that automates finding
and removal of Gedit's backup files, so that you need not to walk through each directory to hunt down those unnecessary files manually. ;)
Yeah, I know, It will save your time! :)
It's very simple to run.
Fire up
Terminal
Type
python rmb.py
Done! :)
Convert the rmb.py to an executable to make it easy and fast to run it next time.
Fire up
Terminal
Type
chmod +x rmb.py
Now simply hit
./rmb.pywhenever you want to run it.
Done!
