Every time I work on my projects, I notice that after modifying and running
my programs that a bunch of ~FILENAME.EXT trashfiles get generated. I
always thought those were just temporary files that were created when they
were being modified (i.e. ~Form1.cpp is created when Form1.cpp is being
modified, etc.), but even after saving and closing everything down, these ~
files still remain. It's not detrimental, but just annoying and a waste of
space, and I was wondering if there was anyway to prevent this from
happening all the time.
 

I use BCB5 Pro and this happens when the "Create backup files"
checkbox is checked in Editor Options ->Display.
Actually, I get
Form1.~cpp
Form1.~dfm
etc
