How do you recursively delete all hidden files in a directory on UNIX?

Question

I have been searching for a while, but can\'t seem to get a succinct solution. I have a Mac with a folder that I want to clean of all hidden files/directories - anything hidden.

Answer 1

find /path -iname ".*" -type f -delete ;

Ruby(1.9+)

ruby -rfileutils -e 'Dir["**/.*"].each{|x| FileUtils.rm(x) if File.file?(x)}'
