MacOS Sequoia no longer allows me to remove its strange metadata files (BlueHarvest).
For many years I relied on BlueHarvest to fix a persistent problem on macOS—creating hidden metafiles for files starting with "._" on removable drives. Previously, these were invisible hidden files and the app could delete them automatically when removing USB devices. With macOS Sequoia those files no longer appear in the hidden directory, and BlueHarvest refuses to delete them even though it claims full disk access. I've tested other operating systems like Windows, Android, and the Nintendo Switch, all of which show and remove them easily. This issue is crucial because on my Switch the files on the SD card prevent the console from launching. I moved all Switch-related stuff from the MacBook to a gaming PC. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions? I also tried setting `com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true` but it had no effect.
No, I cannot use dot_clean. It is not a function or capability I support.
