[SOLVED] Delete .DS_STORE files in current folder and all subfolders from command line on Mac

Issue

I understand I can use find . -name ".DS_Store" to href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5905054/how-can-i-recursively-find-all-files-in-current-and-subfolders-based-on-wildcard">find all the .DS_Store files in the current folder and all subfolders. But how could I delete them from command line simultaneously? I found it's really annoying to switch back and forth to all folders and delete it one by one.

Solution

find can do that. Just add -delete:

find . -name ".DS_Store" -delete

Extend it even further to also print their relative paths

find . -name ".DS_Store" -print -delete

For extra caution, you can exclude directories and filter only for files

find . -name ".DS_Store" -type f -delete
