Description twisted_fall 2015-12-14 11:47:20 UTC 
I have 2 directories created by plasma named literally "~" inside my home directory. One is at the top level, and the other one under .config. I tried creating a new user to check if it's not the migration from kde4 problem, but they are still created.

$ find /home/test -name '~'
/home/test/~
/home/test/.config/~

The contain one file each, the first one:
/home/test/~/.local/share/kde/share/apps/color-schemes/Breeze.colors
The second one:
/home/test/.config/~/.local/share/kde/share/config/kdeglobals

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 twisted_fall 2015-12-15 13:45:31 UTC 
I solved it, it was because of my KDEHOME="~/.local/share/kde" for KDE4. It seems that some KDE5 applications still pick up this env variable, but don't expand ~ unlike KDE4.
