Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can remove the tilde by renaming the file, but be sure you clearly distinguish it from your actual data file to avoid future confusion or conflict.   For example:

 

ZippysReturn.tax2025

~ZippysReturn.tax2025   changed to ZippysReturn_backup.tax2025 or ZippysReturn_tilde.tax2025 or whatever you like.

 

The problem is it will still create tilde files periodically, so you would have to do that every time one is created.  Maybe that's your question--how to use a different autobackup name option.   I don't know of any.
