    How to delete empty folder, but there are hidden DS_Store files

    How to delete empty, but there are hidden DS_Store files

    Q: I tried to setup the flow to delete folders if it’s empty, but in each folder there’s a hidden file  (.DS_Store). I guess that’s why it couldn’t delete any of the empty folders. Do you have any solution for this?
