@jaiksit - Are you using a control panel? If so, which one?

If you’re not using a control panel, the issue would reside elsewhere in the web server configuration. By default, NGINX, Apache and Caddy do not add a ~ to URL/URI’s, so it’d be a configuration variable (or WordPress was configured to use ~ in the path, in which case you’d need to login as the WordPress Admin, head over to settings and remove the ~, save and refresh the page).
