defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool TRUEHelps a bit.
you can also delete them recursively with
find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -print -delete(adapted from this script)
Why is there a
*in front ofDS_Store?Seems like fastly made a small mistake
find . -name '.DS_Store' -type f -print -deletewould just match the exact file and is faster.
