Computer Janitor could remove tilde backup files from user's home

Just a feature suggestion - please can someone mark as wishlist

Computer Janitor should suggest to remove old backup files created by nano, gedit, etc. These files are identified by the trailing "~". These are usually not needed. To be safe it would make sense to only remove those older than 30 days. I think we can be sure that if it has not been modified in the last 30 days the user is happy with the change they made to that file and no longer needs the automatic backup (that most people are unaware even happens).
