Specifically remove files starting with ._ using terminal
find . -type f -name "._*" -print
This will find and display the names of all the files matching the filename globbing pattern ._*
in the current directory, or in any of its subdirectories.
To remove them, change -print
to -delete
, or just add -delete
to the end if you want to see what gets deleted.
The command to remove all files which starts with ._
is:
rm ._*
Before running rm
command which will delete all files which match the pattern ._*
, I'd suggest running the ls
command to provide the list of all files which match the pattern:
ls -lsa ._*
