There are these two defaults settings, and they don't require root to set them: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true |
| 16 |
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteUSBStores true |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
These are only for stopping Finder from writing .DS_Store files. Anything you delete on macOS will still go in .Trash/ at the root of the drive. |
