Find . -name ".DS_Store" | xargs rm

Forgive if it's not exact, I'm on a mobile device. But that should save you effort.



Right, I don't think anybody is saying it's an overburdening difficulty.

But it's still something, when I shouldn't have to do anything.


It's an extreme case of what is commonly called a "first world problem".


90% of the "problems" discussed on HN can be dismissed as "first world problems," but thanks for pointing it out.


A lot, maybe, but not 90%. I think most are valid engineering problems and questions


It should work. The other way to do this is:

      find . -name '.DS_Store' -delete


I'm in lust with xargs
