Those are temp files. They are created when you are working on
something and the program saves a small copy containing changes you
may not have saved yet.
If you like you can do this, but please don't modify it.

rm -rfv *~

That will remove any files with any characters in front, ending in a ~
(Tilda) in that directory.
