"find" & drivepath & "-type f -name "._*" -exec rm -rf {} ;"
(not sure if the escapes are correct, I normally just use
find . -type f -name "._*" -exec rm -rf {} ;
in terminal)
Note this app should not be run on a DMG with background image, because it will remove the background appearance. A latter version may workaround this, but then some hidden files will remain.
This version is more or less final, it takes care of all hidden files/folders I can think of. I have tested it and it works superbly.
As a reminder & note of caution:
Do not run CleanDisk on indexed volumes (Spotlight) & if you choose a folder or image containing .background folder, the background appearance of the folder/image will be lost.
