Are internal disks likely to use a non-mac-native filesystem?


It's annoying for backing up directories or sharing directories between systems...


Then they would be external and the above solution would work?


No...

Use case is taking a copy (via say tar) of a directory hierarchy on a MacOS drive, and copying that to another system (Linux), and untarring... then you've got all the .DS_store files everywhere...

Not the end of the world, but annoying...


find . -type f -name .DS_Store -delete


I tend to do rm **/.DS_Store . I know it’s slow when there are lots of files, but it is still quicker than opening a man page or Stack Overflow to figure out what the hell the syntax is to do it with find.


Is that a meme like with `tar`?
