Thanks everyone who replied

Instead of backing up 11gb

I found an easy way to safely delete \~ directory

ls \~

gave some files under the directory. There were actually 2 
subdirectories and one file I have
accidentally created from a java program. So I deleted them one by one. 
3 steps.

Then I did

rm -ir \~

which prompted me to delete \~ directory and it deleted it.

-i option prompts you so you will know if you are deleting your mail or 
source code :)

Thanks again
Vano
