It's added to prevent duplicate file names. It's more properly referred to as "_tNN", because it increments with each file to be written.

It's configurable. If you disable it, you will be asked if you want to overwrite files more often. You can manually overwrite it, as well as automatically stop it from ever happening.

Do you still want to know how to stop it automatically?
