Hi @RajeshT

This is default Windows functionality, when any document is open it creates a version with ~ infront of it (normally hidden to users).

If you was to close the files and then check you will see that the ~ versions do not exist. MSFT explain this here:

If you are trying to iterate through the files in the folder then just include an if statement checking if the file begins with ~ and then ignore it.
