Safely remove '._' files via an AppleScript
Authored by: reidspice on Nov 27, '05 11:32:41PM

the link at the top of this post is dead and, because it still ranks high in google, i thought it would be helpful to link to the latest version as it's now at 2.1:

i'm pleased to report that it just cleaned over 1,000 of these nasty little files from a windows raid i have mounted over smb. excellent.

one note: be careful with the path/volume name as i had mine mounted by IP address and the volume, in this case, needed to be the IP address of the server (not the name of the share that shows up in the finder). had to go to the terminal to figure that one out.

Hi
Any reason why it's not working for me?
OS 10.4.5.

I choose the correct folder, permissions set to read & write, hit the Cleanse button, the progress bar moves along and gives completed message.
I drag & drop the folder onto the network windows (WIN2K) server icon.
Openining the folder on the windows server and all those files are still there.
Regards
