Public bug reported:
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.
