Hi Xcode folks,

Does anyone know of a tool which may exist that will recursively got thru a folder and delete files with the name ".DS_Store"? There's probably an expression that can be invoked via 'rm' - but, to avoid potentially disastrous effects from a typo, I was hoping there was a cleanup-tool somebody had created. The idea was to make things tidy for a Linux deployment of materials developed on my Mac.

Thanks,

Lance Drake


$ find . -name .DS_Store -exec rm {} \;

To "preflight" and see / verify what is going to be deleted first:

$ find . -name .DS_Store -print

HTH,
