I want to delete all files that start with ._
, when I run this command:
me@me:/var/www/my/project$ sudo rm -Rvi ._*
rm: cannot remove `._*': No such file or directory
I'm pretty sure the .
is causing problems, making it think I mean the current directory, what's the correct syntax to achieve this?
I know these files originated from my Mac, I need a way of nuking them :-)
Many thanks
Ben
Hmm, I cannot seem to be able to reproduce your problem. (
touch ._test
,rm ._*
works fine.) Maybe there's some other attributes that make the difference?Files beginning with a period aren't anything special, as it is the convention to 'hide' e.g. configuration files (~/.profile). – Jawa – 2010-05-26T09:58:54.107
