efaq: Disabling auto-save-mode

 
 5.40 How do I disable ‘auto-save-mode’?
 =======================================
 
 You probably don’t want to do this, since auto-saving is useful,
 especially when Emacs or your computer crashes while you are editing a
 document.
 
    Instead, you might want to change the variable ‘auto-save-interval’,
 which specifies how many keystrokes Emacs waits before auto-saving.
 Increasing this value forces Emacs to wait longer between auto-saves,
 which might annoy you less.
 
    You might also want to look into Sebastian Kremer’s ‘auto-save’
 package (Packages that do not come with Emacs).  This package
 also allows you to place all auto-save files in one directory, such as
 ‘/tmp’.
 
    To disable or change how ‘auto-save-mode’ works, (emacs)Auto
 Save.
