Not that it matters, but

Code:
rm .DS_Store

[jay3ld]

what that do and were do i type it?

rm is a UNIX command.

In the Terminal, navigate to the directory that contains the .DS_Store file you wish to delete and type the rm command. rm means remove. Be careful, once it's gone, it's gone.

If you don't know how to do the above, then get the book UNIX for Mac Users (or something like that).

I was going to be snarky and tell you to stay out of .app files, but that's a good way to learn how the system works. So I will say "Make backups!" instead.

.DS_Store files aren't really destructive (as far as I'm aware), though, so I don't know why it's a concern.

You don't need .DS_Store files in your apps at all; they're just (IIRC) for Finder window settings and the like.

You can also try:

Code:
find /path/to/app -name .DS_Store -exec rm {} \;

which will delete all .DS_Store files in the application bundle (make sure you don't mistype, though, just in case).
