Editing text file using Emacs will make Emacs make a companion file for its own purpose.

For example, after first editing a file called test.c, Emacs will leave a file called test.c~ in the same directory.

  This can be a little annoying when visualizing all files cluttered with the ~ files in a console

Any way to get rid of seeing these ~ files in a console, like the Gnome Terminal?

Update:

Thanks to @don_crisst

use ls -B to hide the ~ files when displaying file names

 -B or --ignore-backups = do not list implied entries ending with ~
