Make backup (bak) file creation optional

[michael_team]

The bak file that is automatically created (and re-created if deleted) really clutters up our folders.

Please allow us to either turn it off, or specify a different location to hold our back up files.

Thanks

Thank you all for your feedback and use cases! I've insured this feedback has been put on our product team's radar for consideration in regards to this idea.

Agreed, they clogs up my directories

I would like this. It can cause errors Cannot Overwrite Calgary File - Alteryx Community and clutters things.

Hi all

This macro provides a workaround to delete these *.bak files, if anyone is interested.
