<del> **Additional `._*` Files Saved on Remote Volumes** </del> <br/>
<del> The `._*` files contain metadata about the files some applications write in additional to the file content. On macOS, this metadata can be stored alongside the file on the filesystem, but on remote volumes, with no metadata support, an auxiliary file is created to contain this information. You can delete metadata on files using `xattr -d <filename>`. </del>

**Extended Attributes**
Additional `._*` Files Saved on Remote Volumes**<br/>

These are only saved in a temporary location and not synchronized. If you want to save `._*` files to the server set the [hidden configuration option](../preferences.md#hidden-configuration-options):

defaults write io.mountainduck fs.filenames.metadata.enable false

If you want to delete metadata files, you can open a *Terminal.app* window and enter `dot_clean -m <folder>`.
