How can I delete all hidden files on an external drive?
Trying to copy large numbers of archived files to a NAS from external drive.
Copy process keeps stopping because the NAS will not accept Macintosh hidden files.
This means I have to:
- Display hidden files on the external drive
- Dig down into the folder(s) and find the hidden file(s).
- Delete it/them.
- Start copying again until the next hidden file stops the process.
This is VERY time consuming.
My question: How can I BATCH DELETE hidden files on an EXTERNAL DRIVE?
I'd prefer a Terminal command rather than pointing me at propriety software
