Bug Description

When I edit a file(file.txt) with Scratch it creates a backup file (~file.txt), but when I close Scratch, that backup needs to be deleted.
I have my folders with annoying backups that I don't use.

I agree with you. Yesterday I had to delete manually a backup file.

I think this is normal linux behaviour. It should create one backup file and keep it until you change something in the file when the backup will beupdated.
At least thats what I observed.
