The DiskUtility app for Mac does not support FAT32 within the GUI. You can, however, format a USB flash drive in MacOS from the terminal.

✓ Option 1: Use newfs_msdos

#Insert the drive -> open Terminal -> List your disks
diskutil list

# Identify your USB (e.g., /dev/disk2) -> Unmount the whole disk
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2

find . -type f -name "._*" -print But the more important part is how to delete them... well that is simple enough.

find . -type f -name "._*" -delete Plus if you want to list the files which have been deleted use this.

find . -type f -name "._*" -print -delete
