._ Filenames Droplet
Authored by: fracai on Jun 23, '05 03:34:07PM

-r doesn't really mean search recursively. what it does mean is if a folder matches then that folder and it's contents should be removed

in order to actually recurse you'd want to use something like:

find ./ -iname "._*" -exec rm -rf -- {} \;

this will find anything that starts with ._ and remove it, folders and files.
