We download a zip file in Switch on Windows and uncompress it. The files are compressed on a Mac and when we unpack them they look like this in Windows Explorer.
._Filename_1.pdf
._ExcelFile_1.xls
._Filename_2.pdf
._Filename_3.pdf
._Filename_4.pdf
._Filename_5.pdf
Filename_1.pdf
ExcelFile_1.xls
Filename_2.pdf
Filename_3.pdf
Filename_4.pdf
Filename_5.pdf
The files that start with "._" cause us problems when sending the files from Swtich into another program. How can I delete all files starting with "._" and just keep the real files? Since I can't see the hidden files (starting with ._) inside the Switch (but they are visible if I right-click on the folder in switch and select open in explorer), I haven't found a way to delete them in Switch.
I have tested:
The files are usually only 1kb and it does not work to filter out all files below 2kb.
Failed to apply filters to files starting with file name "._"
Filters on file type pdf or xls does not work.

Can this folder delete files that are not visible inside Switch (hidden mac files)?

Yes it can!!!
I use it to get rid of the ._DS_Store files using these settings.
In your case just set it up to delete ._*.*
