<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I ave a file server with over 2million files. I tested a replication software and it created a 4kb hidden file for every file and folder <br />
<br />
e.g. &nbsp;C:\Department\Finance\2008<wbr />\Leave.xls<wbr /> there would be a file <br />
C:\Department\Finance\2008<wbr />\._Leave.x<wbr />ls (all file now have a ._ prefix 4kb shadow file)<br />
<br />
Is there a script or command I can use to recurse all folders to delete any file with a &quot;._&quot; prefix?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
