I'm trying to find the command to delete recursively all Apple Mac generated files such as '._' from the drive. So far I have:
find . -name '._*' -exec rm -rf {} \;
however it doesn't seem to do the trick.

There's now a better way!
See
man dot_clean
since OS X 10.5.dot_clean -n .
will not just delete the dot underbar files in and below the current directory, it'll merge their information into the parent file if it's not already there (and I infer that you want-n
to also delete the dot underbar file if there is no matching native file).
