Matlab saves saving my m files with the extension m ~ in the same directory. This is very annoying since I always click on them and have to close them. I suppose this is some kind of security feature or some kind of caching, but is there anyway to rotate them so that at least they don't appear in the Matlab file browser window or act like hidden files or something still?
These are autosave files. You can change autosave in the menu File-> Settings-> Editor / Debugger-> Autosave.
