    As far as I know the .DS_Store files contains info on the dir their are located like finder settings.

    On our Servers we have a script that removes all these files every hour as we also have PC users who bitch and whinge about seeing a crappy .DS_Store file.

    As shooting morons will get me fired or worse I just delete the file.

    Safe, sure.



    The .DS_Store files hold the Finder information like position of the window, etc, so if you delete those, the Finder won't be able to restore such things next time you open that folder. But yeah, it's safe otherwise. Just know what it is you're deleting, you might actually *want* to keep that info.
