I've been using VIM on a virtual machine running Kali Linux to write python scripts on a shared folder on my Windows 10 host operating system, but these empty files with names as 4 digits keep being generated after I save any changes. I have no idea why this is happening. I previously disabled backups for VIM as swap files were being generated and crowding my directory, but now I have this problem, and I always have to delete these annoying files
Snapshot of my directory:
vim --clean
orvim -u NONE
? (PS swapfiles do go away after you exit vim, and they can be handy in a crash. But backup != swapfile.) What is the "shared folder" (network share? something else?)
