Hiding 'icon?' files visible in folders after Mac transfer

Thanks for your input John, but there was one created by apple for every folder throughout my hard drive during transfer.

Dealing with each one individually would take a very very long time. I need to batch hide them in one go. Thx

Thank you John, but regrettably not in this instance.

It is not possible for Google to have created an 'icon?' file in every single folder throughout my whole hard drive. They were created by Apple during set up and transfer of files from one macbook to another.

Thanks for this Niel... Could you expand on it a little? As it's beyond my limited experience 😊

I can get them into the finder but not sure hereafter, and concerned about making the wrong move... Thx

Thanks for trying to help Niel but I really don't understand any of your instructions well enough to execute.

I.e. Set theFiles to "(search for files named Icon in the Finder and drag them here)" (drag them where??)

repeat with thisFile in paragraphs of theFiles (repeat with which file? in what paragraphs? or search again with part of this sentence?)

do shell script "chflags hidden " & thisFile What is 'doing shell script' etc etc... 'end repeat' but end repeat what and where etc etc?

end repeat

They're system files 'icon?' (usually hidden) in every folder throughout my hard drive John, I'm trying to re-hide the files, it's not an aesthetic choice. 😊

Thanks the clarification Niel. Will try that.
