This is presumably the autobackup from last time you ran. You won't want 
it at all unless you need to revert to that version (and redo subsequent 
changes).

You should rename the first one (with the plain name). Then when you next 
run Gnucash, it will complain that it can't find it, and you can open it 
explicitly, after which it will be remembered.
