 I can't figure out what happend or what script you have run to have that,
 but if all you want to do is removing the trailing ~ at the end of your
 filenames, then you can issue the following command :
   for i in * ; do mv $i ${i%%\~} ; done

usually a ~ is a backup copy.  You can always delete or rm the file that had
the change and cp the ~ file back to a reg file.  It had been convenient for me
t whenever I alter a file.  and after saving it.  it automatically store the
original file to a ~ file which mean if the alter one didnt work.  I always
delete and cp the ~ file back to the original file and try alter it to
something else.
