[QUOTE="surfwax95, post: 243016, member: 12561"] Open Terminal and copy/paste: [b]defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE; killall Finder[/b] This allows all hidden files to be visible in Finder. You can delete them using the normal GUI way, then copy/paste: [b]defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE; killall Finder[/b] This will get you back to normal. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
