I just prefer to have an alias myself I call 'rmj' for remove junk:

alias rmj='echo rm *.bak *~ *# *.aux .*.bak .*~ .*# .saves* ;rm -R -f *.bak *~ *# *.aux .*.bak .*~ .*# .saves*'

This of course only removes on demand and only in the directory you
reside in, however echo's back what it removes and can be easily be
changed to include interactive removes etc.
