Deleting hidden Mac files on your MPC HD from a PC

I got this to work with my MV-8000 so I guess it should work for people that connect their MPC's via USB to both a Mac & PC.

For me, I am constantly using my MV via USB to my Mac and PC laptop to transfer files. When using my Mac, I get a bunch of unneeded hidden files (._xxxxxxxx , ._DS_Store and ._Trashes) that the Mac puts on the MV hard drive. These files end up everywhere which are a nuisance to look at and especially after time take up quite a lot of space on the internal hard drive.

I made a simple batch file that I leave on my MV's internal hard drive. This allows me to run the batch file on the MV hard drive to delete these unneeded Mac files when it is connected to my PC laptop via USB...
1) With your MV/MPC connected to your PC by USB, open up the Notepad program in Windows.
2) Copy this to Notepad with the spaces:
del /s /a:h ._*

del /s /a:h .DS_Store

del /s /a:h .Trashes

@pause
3) Save the Notepad file as a batch file by naming it CleanMacFiles.bat. Save it to your MV/MPC's internal hard drive.
4) On your PC, click on the CleanMacFiles.bat file that you previously saved to the MV/MPC's internal hard drive. Watch how it scans your MV/MPC internal hard drive for the Mac files and deletes them right away.
5) If this batch file shows "Could Not Find "DRIVE LETTER":\._xxxxxx", this means there wasn't any Mac files found on your MV/MPC internal hard drive.
6) Once the program is done it will ask you "Press any key to continue..." .
7) Press any key and you are now rid of those annoying Mac files.

You can also use this batch file on USB drives & CF cards that you swap from Mac to PC to get rid of those annoying hidden Mac files.
Let me know if this works for you.

Mods... Please add this to the correct forum... Off Topic?

Well computers are part of the studio environment, so...

MOVED.

Or you can use the CleanMyMac app.

There is a setting in there that can remove these hidden files automatically every time you eject a drive.
