Recursively remove files

by

change to the directory, and use:

find . -name ".DS_Store" -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf
find . -name "._*" -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf

Not tested, try them without the xargs first!

You could replace the period after find, with the directory, instead of changing to the directory first.

find /dir/here ...
