1~ files are backup files created by editors like gEdit. See the preferences of the program you made the file with. SEE: askubuntu.com/questions/317134/…– RinzwindFeb 8, 2014 at 8:22

The file with tilde is called backup file and made everytime you edited a file on an editor. If you want, you can recover the file from that backup. Otherwise, delete it also.
If you don't want it, open Gedit and go to Edit->Preferences->Editor and uncheck Create Backup Copy if it's checked.
Also you can open terminal and navigate to that dir then
rm *.ext~
