Duplictae files gets created on opening any file in yocto for rpi cm3 #cm3 #dunfell

Dear team,

I'm using yocto-dunfell for generating for my rpi-cm3.
it is working fine, but one issue I'm facing that when ever I'm trying to open any file, that gets duplicated with it's name and then ~ sign.
e.g. I'm open hello.sh file, then on saving this file one file will be automatically generated with the name hello.sh~ .
This thing unnecessarily consuming memory in my file-system.

Please assist me some method to get rid with this.

Thanks and Regards.
Prashant Singh

Are you using vim to edit the files? If yes, then take a look at
"backup files":

Be aware that vim possibly creates swap and undo files, too.
