Homecleaner removes all backup files in the 'not hidden' part of your home directory. A backup file is created automatically whenever you save a newer version of an already existing file. A backup file contains the previous version of the file you saved. Names of backup files always end with a '~' character (example: 'textfile.txt~' is the backup file of 'textfile.txt'). It is generally save to remove backup files, since they do not contain the most recent changes.
Note: As a safety measure, backup files in hidden directories will NEVER be removed, because they could contain system information you might need to restore when making erroneous changes to those files.
