KDE makes backup files

I discovered KDE makes backups in a folder : “ … \AppData\Roaming\kdenlive\.backup”

In this folder are 729 files !!!

It is filling this directory with files since the first day I started using KDE. It even keeps backups of projects I have deleted from disk long time ago. Within a few years my hard drive will be full.

How can I prevent KDE from doing this or delete them when I close the program or after a few days or weeks ?

Explained in detail here. Enjoy.

I have deleted those 729 files, it was a stunning 23 Gb.

The manual doesn’t mention this secret folder.
