.ds_store File Onedrive For Mac Problem

For every window in Mac OS X, a hidden file called '.DS_Store' contains the information on how the window is to be displayed (such as, which columns are shown for 'list' mode, icon sizes, window position, and so on).

Then locate the folder that gives you the problematic view settings (don't open it yet), and drag it to the Terminal window (this will enter the full path to the folder). When the full path is entered in this way, the Terminal will put a space after the folder name. Delete this space and type '/.DS_Store', so the command looks something like the following.

In addition to problems with individual window views, you may wish to just reset all window customizations and clear any potential problems you're having with window views. While you can go through and remove all the DS_Store files for each problematic folder, the simplest way may be to just remove all of them using a program such as '.
