I bought a 2-bay QNAP NAS that I'll put 2 x 2TB hard drives in today and load up with my files. I'll be accessing the NAS via Xubuntu/Debian and Mac machines.
I'd like someone to teach me a bash one-liner (or something similar) that will clear out some of the junk files that have accumulated over the years of multi-platform access.
These include things like:
.ini
thumbs.db
.AppleDouble
.DS_Store
:2e*
I don't want to delete crucial metadata files, but .ini
for example, I don't view as crucial and the same goes for .DS_Store
.
Additionally, are there any easy ways to be proactive in the fight against spreading these junk files around? On the Mac, I did:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
a while back which should take care of future .DS_Store network spam. I'm not completely OCD but I'd like to avoid useless files where possible.
Thanks very much. I'm looking forward to doing some weeding! – boehj – 2011-07-14T00:00:46.413
