Can i delete __MACOSX file from my applications?

Hello to everybody i am a new member here and i have one question.

Yesterday i install some plugins for Premerie and Final Cut.

After that a file __MACOSX appears in my applications, does anyone knows what it is? And can i delete it or it will harm my mac.

Thanks a lot

What's inside?


My understanding is this folder is created as a hidden folder when one zips up stuff on the mac. The folder becomes visible (and useless, I think) when the zip file is opened by a Windows user. I suspect your recent installs dropped some irrelevant, windows-based litter in your Applications folder.


If this were on my machine, I would put it in the trash.
