I won’t swear to this but I presume this only happens when you quit
BBEdit with unsaved documents and BBEdit is restoring these documents
from the autosave cache. I find it very convenient to have this new
possibility and can easily tolerate the few seconds it takes for BBEdit
to restore the state at quit. I imagine that if you save all your open
windows before quitting,including all those untitled snippets that you
really don’t need ever to see again, you will avoid this minor
inconvenience at the cost of what I consider a greater chore.

That do you mean by this? I don't understand "eliminating the rest of me harddrive".

See Preferences > Reopen documents that were open at last quit.

What do _you_ mean by attributing this to me!

Oops, double-quoted, sorry! I meant it for "cancerinform", which is an interesting username.
