DOT Delete

I created this program because I work on a Macintosh part of the time and on a Windows computer part of the time.  I often transfer files between the two using a USB key.  The problem is that when a folder is accessed on a Macintosh it creates a bunch of little "DOT Files" that all start with "._", it also scatters ".DS_Store" files all over the place.  It's very annoying to have to delete these files by hand on the windows computer, so this program will scan a folder and delete all these files for you.  Quick and Easy.

NOTE: THIS PROGRAM PERMANENTLY DELETES FILES.  IT WORKS FINE FOR ME BUT YOU USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.  I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF IT DELETES YOUR TERM PAPER OR BANKING DATA, FOR EXAMPLE.  LOOK AT EVERY FILE IN THE FILE LIST TO MAKE SURE IT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DELETE BEFORE HITTING THE "DELETE ALL" BUTTON.

Here is a short video showing the app in action.
