==== Delete all “._Thumbs.db” files ====
Open a Command Prompt or Terminal:
On Windows, press Win + R, type cmd, and hit Enter.
On macOS or Linux, open the Terminal.
Navigate to the Directory: Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where your files are located. For example:
  cd /path/to/your/directory

Delete the Files: Run the following command to delete all “._Thumbs.db” files in the directory and its subdirectories:
  del /s /q ._Thumbs.db

/s searches for files in subdirectories.
/q suppresses confirmation prompts.
If you’re on macOS or Linux, use the rm command instead:
  find . -type f -name "._Thumbs.db" -exec rm {} \;

Confirm Deletion: Verify that the files have been deleted by checking the directory.
Remember to replace /path/to/your/directory with the actual path to your file structure. Be cautious when deleting files, especially system files, to avoid unintended consequences.
