How to find temporary files?

There may be temporary files on my harddisk, I want to delete them.
Example: they start with ~$filename.ext

How to find those files?

My 'simple solution' to find files : ~$. does not work, I get everything.

Thanks!

~ is a wildcard character so you need to escape it as '~ to match a literal ~.

That worked alright! (of course... :wink: )
Thanks a lot!!

Hi,
I'd like to find all files in a folder that contain the wildcard "~" in the file name or in the file extension.
I've used several options but none worked: ~, '~ (mentioned here), '~', "~, "~", ...

I'm using Dopus v12.26 on Windows 10.

Could you help please?

Up front: I am not at all an expert.
Maybe you could give Regex search (Advanced tab) a try?
Advanced > Name : search for .+~
Tag: Use Regular Expressions.

Most probably there are much better solutions though.
