I'm new to Emacs and org-mode. Whenever I make changes to any org file it creates auto-save files. For example if the file I'm editing is tasks.org, it creates these files : #tasks.org#, .#tasks.org# and tasks.org~.
I want to disable this behaviour.
PS: I'm using Emacs on Windows
To not create backup files (*~), customize option make-backup-files.
To not create auto-save files (#...#), turn off auto-save-mode in your init file:
(auto-save-mode -1)
But do so at your peril. Better to search this site for tag [auto-save], to see other possibilities. Better yet: read the Emacs manual about auto-save files.
However, if you only want to disable auto-save for Org files, then this question should be deleted as a duplicate of this one. In that case, please delete your question.
Just put these files to a separate directory (for example, to ~/.emacs-saves/). To do this, add to your ~/.emacs file:
(setq auto-save-file-name-transforms '((".*" "~/.emacs-saves/" t)))
(setq lock-file-name-transforms '((".*" "~/.emacs-saves/" t)))
(setq backup-directory-alist '((".*" . "~/.emacs-saves/")))
