Eliminate hidden files created by Finder
FinderCleaner is a free Mac application developed by Boswortels that helps you clean up hidden files created by Finder. It is particularly useful for external devices like USB sticks that have .DS or Trash files that cannot be removed normally. FinderCleaner can clean .DS_Store files, Resource forks, FBC files, and .Trash files. Additionally, it provides a cleaner way to eject volumes to prevent the creation of new hidden files.
However, it is important to use FinderCleaner with caution. The app requires your password to access system resources that are not normally used. Users have reported that FinderCleaner has been detected sending data out from OS X, which raises security concerns. Blocking this data transmission may cause the app to crash, and the developer does not provide an explanation for why it is necessary.
If you are not concerned about security and need a powerful solution to get rid of awkward files created by Finder, FinderCleaner can be a useful tool.
