Hi there, How can I stop Revit from saving extra files(probably autosave files I don't know what they are called exactly) as seen on the attachment? It is so annoying to delete the extra files every single time...
How to Stop Revit from Saving Autosave Files to the Original File Location
Accepted solution
you can control the number of backups from Application Menu (R) > Save As > Options > File Save Options> Maximum Backups

Hello, dear, 
you can also make a batch-file. A lot of information can be found in google, for example, the simpliest batch-file is described here.
Or google more with words "deleting backup files revit" or "deleting backup files revit batch". 
What is also annoying if something goes wrong with your project file, not being able to open your project, resulting in losty hours. So make sure that you have at least some backup files or that you have your own backup regime.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

Storage space is REALLY cheap compaired to your time. I would also caution against deleteing ALL of the backup files.

There is not a way to tell Revit to use a different save locaiton. You could create some kind of batch file or script to automate doing something like this but it would be outside of Revit.
