Title:
When moving, renaming, deleting files, their backup copies are not
modified
Status in Nautilus:
Won't Fix
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When moving, renaming, and deleting files that have backup copies
(those have the same filename with a tilde in the end, like
'filename~'), the backup copy is not affected by any such change to
the main file. Since the backup copies are usually invisible (they are
hidden by default), that leads to counter-intuitive experience, where
as many files are moved, renamed, and deleted, they leave hidden
traces that contain old information (which is potentially sensitive)
and occupy disk space. Those remaining backup files usually have to be
cleaned up manually, and some end up hanging around for a long time
without being cleaned up.
One way to fix this is to automatically apply the same change
(renaming, moving, or deletion) to the backup copy if one exist.
