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
