Recursive erase hidden files

Question

I'm trying to recursive erase all files that begin with "._" (aka mac dot files) on my server using SSH. The files are listed with a ls -a but this won't work:

rm -rf ._*

I know there's a way. Mind to share? Cheers!

Answer 1

find . -name ._\* -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

Answer 2

find . -name ._\* -type f -delete

Specify that it's files and just call the find-delete on item directly.
