Hi.
I wonder how I can find hidden files? Normal seach do not find hidden files or folders :(
I you what to totally remove an application, including configuration-files they do not allway disappear, probably cos configurationfiles placement in the home-folder have switched place.

From a terminal you can see all hidden files and directories in the current location by using the following,


ls -lad .*For example, if in your home directory, you can search for all bash config files


ls -lad .bash*

This does not find files in folders I think (or files in dirictorys)? Recusively?
