Macisgr3at Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Well I installed Leopard and its running great but now ive got a .ds store and .trash files everywhere, in all folders and on the desktop. They can’t be deleted either… Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks!

halo2rox Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Those are system files. If they are showing in leopard then something is wrong but if you can only see them in windows or something thats normal. If you're seeing it in Leopard, then i can't help you as I just got Leopard myself.

~pcwiz Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Download and run Cocktail: http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php It removes DS Store files and prevents them from being created too Just download the free trial of the program, clean your computer up, and uninstall the program (or buy it and keep it forever ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86044-ds_store-taking-over/#findComment-610568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 They are not exactly system files, Mac OS X uses them to store som windows preferences and filel details. If you delete them is not a disaster. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86044-ds_store-taking-over/#findComment-610570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
westwaerts Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 if you see a magnifying glass iin the menubar of all windows, just click the crossed magnifying glass with these two you enable or disable the show hidden files option, can be turned off also, if you use cocktail, you can also delete them manually, but they are renewed.
