When I decide to abandon changes made to a buffer.  I exit emacs without saving the file.  It asks "Modified buffers exist; exit anyway?"  I answer yes.  Now I have an auto save #file# file there.  How can I not get these files in this scenario?  I want to keep auto save on because of it's many benefits.

You could also use dired and type #.

So there should be no need to `M-~' before `C-x k'. But Lowell is presumably exiting emacs with `C-x C-c' (save-buffers-kill-emacs), which prompts you with "Modified buffers exist; exit anyway?" and does not delete the auto-save files. It runs save-some-buffers first, though, which gives the user the chance to type `C-r M-~ q' for each modified buffer -- does that cause the auto-save files to be deleted? Ideally, save-some-buffers would give the user the chance to discard the changes to a buffer (or even to all buffers)... -- Kevin Rodgers From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Path: main.gmane.org!not-for-mail From: Lowell Gilbert Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.help Subject: Re: get rid of leftover auto save #files# Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2004 14:51:45 GMT Organization: Comcast Online Sender: help-gnu-emacs-bounces+geh-help-gnu-emacs=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Message-ID: <44n051h1j2.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> References: <44vfjrdhft.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> <4089396D.9090400@yahoo.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: deer.gmane.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Trace: sea.gmane.org 1082818861 3862 80.91.224.253 (24 Apr 2004 15:01:01 GMT) X-Complaints-To: usenet@sea.gmane.org NNTP-Posting-Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2004 15:01:01 +0000 (UTC) Original-X-From: help-gnu-emacs-bounces+geh-help-gnu-emacs=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Sat Apr 24 17:00:54 2004 Return-path: Original-Received: from monty-python.gnu.org ([199.232.76.173]) by deer.gmane.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) id 1BHOeE-0005ma-00 for ; Sat, 24 Apr 2004 17:00:54 +0200 Original-Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=monty-python.gnu.org) by monty-python.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.30) id 1BHOe2-0006Nw-Bl for geh-help-gnu-emacs@m.gmane.org; Sat, 24 Apr 2004 11:00:42 -0400 Original-Path: shelby.stanford.edu!newsfeed.stanford.edu!canoe.uoregon.edu!newshub.sdsu.edu!elnk-nf2-pas!newsfeed.earthlink.net!wn51feed!worldnet.att.net!attbi_s04.POSTED!not-for-mail Original-Newsgroups: gnu.emacs.help Original-Lines: 8 User-Agent: Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.3 Original-NNTP-Posting-Host: 66.30.196.44 Original-X-Complaints-To: abuse@comcast.net Original-X-Trace: attbi_s04 1082818305 66.30.196.44 (Sat, 24 Apr 2004 14:51:45 GMT) Original-NNTP-Posting-Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2004 14:51:45 GMT Original-Xref: shelby.stanford.edu gnu.emacs.help:122664 Original-To: help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org X-BeenThere: help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.4 Precedence: list List-Id: Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: help-gnu-emacs-bounces+geh-help-gnu-emacs=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.help:17952 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help:17952 Kevin Rodgers writes: > But Lowell is presumably I believe this was intended to refer to the original poster, rather than to me. - Lowell From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Path: main.gmane.org!not-for-mail From: Kevin Rodgers Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.help Subject: Re: get rid of leftover auto save #files# Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 11:31:59 -0600 Sender: help-gnu-emacs-bounces+geh-help-gnu-emacs=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Message-ID: <408D478F.5090000@yahoo.com> References: <44vfjrdhft.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> <4089396D.9090400@yahoo.com> <44n051h1j2.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: deer.gmane.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Trace: sea.gmane.org 1083001664 7246 80.91.224.253 (26 Apr 2004 17:47:44 GMT) X-Complaints-To: usenet@sea.gmane.org NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 17:47:44 +0000 (UTC) Original-X-From: help-gnu-emacs-bounces+geh-help-gnu-emacs=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Mon Apr 26 19:47:31 2004 Return-path: Original-Received: from monty-python.gnu.org ([199.232.76.173]) by deer.gmane.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) id 1BIACZ-0006oD-00 for ; Mon, 26 Apr 2004 19:47:31 +0200 Original-Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=monty-python.gnu.org) by monty-python.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.30) id 1BIABe-0007LB-Hn for geh-help-gnu-emacs@m.gmane.org; Mon, 26 Apr 2004 13:46:34 -0400 Original-Path: shelby.stanford.edu!newsfeed.stanford.edu!news.tele.dk!news.tele.dk!small.news.tele.dk!fu-berlin.de!uni-berlin.de!170.207.51.80!not-for-mail Original-Newsgroups: gnu.emacs.help Original-Lines: 12 Original-NNTP-Posting-Host: 170.207.51.80 Original-X-Trace: news.uni-berlin.de 1083000699 13368843 I 170.207.51.80 ([82742]) User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS i86pc; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/20020406 Netscape6/6.2.2 X-Accept-Language: en-us Original-Xref: shelby.stanford.edu gnu.emacs.help:122727 Original-To: help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org X-BeenThere: help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.4 Precedence: list List-Id: Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: help-gnu-emacs-bounces+geh-help-gnu-emacs=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.help:18015 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help:18015 Lowell Gilbert wrote: > Kevin Rodgers writes: >>But Lowell is presumably [...] > > I believe this was intended to refer to the original > poster, rather than to me.
