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~
