copied!<p>You can either move them to their own folder with the following code:</p> <pre><code>;; Don't clutter up directories with files~ (setq backup-directory-alist `(("." . ,(expand-file-name (concat dotfiles-dir "backups"))))) ;; Don't clutter with #files either (setq auto-save-file-name-transforms `((".*" ,(expand-file-name (concat dotfiles-dir "backups"))))) </code></pre> <p>Or you can remove them completely, like so:</p> <pre><code>(setq make-backup-files nil) (setq auto-save-default nil) </code></pre> <p>Personally I would be wary of removing them as they can come in useful. Further discussion is here: </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BackupDirectory" rel="noreferrer">http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BackupDirectory</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoSave" rel="noreferrer">http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoSave</a></li> </ul> <p>I would recommend checking out the <strong>emacs-starter-kit</strong> it sorts out a load of issues that people have when coming to emacs, and is pretty heavily used.</p> <p><a href="http://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit/blob/master/starter-kit-misc.el" rel="noreferrer">http://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit/blob/master/starter-kit-misc.el</a></p> <hr> <p>Update:</p> <p>There seems to be much confusion over how to use the functions. I'm going to have a little play around later but here is some more information. Note that <code>auto-save-file-name-transforms</code>:</p> <blockquote> <p>lets you specify a series of regular expressions and replacements to transform the auto save file name <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Auto-Save-Files.html" rel="noreferrer">[emacs-manual]</a></p> </blockquote> <p>so it's not just as simple as adding in a folder name. That said it seems from a quick google search the following might just do what you all want:</p> <pre><code>;;; backup/autosave (defvar backup-dir (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/backup/")) (defvar autosave-dir (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/autosave/")) (setq backup-directory-alist (list (cons ".*" backup-dir))) (setq auto-save-list-file-prefix autosave-dir) (setq auto-save-file-name-transforms `((".*" ,autosave-dir t))) </code></pre> <p><a href="http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&lr=&q=auto-save-file-name-transforms&sbtn=Search" rel="noreferrer">http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&lr=&q=auto-save-file-name-transforms&sbtn=Search</a></p>
