[Ti] need root help

[Kynan Shook]

There is one in every folder; per standard conventions, anything named 
beginning with a period (note that the name is ".DS_Store", with a 
period at the front) is hidden from the user.  For those not afraid of 
the terminal, you can do "cd /path/to/a/folder/" to find a specific 
folder (cd = change directory), and then "ls -a" to list all the files, 
including hidden ones (ls = listing of directory contents).  To see 
what directory you are currently in, type "pwd" (= print working 
directory).  To delete the file, you can use rm (remove), but I'm not 
going to describe how to use that command: if you're familiar with it, 
use it.  If you're not, I'd recommend using a GUI tool of some sort; 
there are a number that can be used to either delete the hidden 
.DS_Store files, or to show all hidden files in the Finder.
I don't have time at the moment to look up specific names; somebody 
else can chime in here, or ask me later and I can look if you can't 
find any.
