Delete files with prefix ._* in config OpenWrt

Hi

This looks like trash

Backup file list

Below is the determined list of files to backup. It consists of changed configuration files marked by opkg, essential base files and the user defined backup patterns.

    /etc/config/.DS_Store
    /etc/config/._.DS_Store
    /etc/config/._adblock
    /etc/config/._adblock-fast
    /etc/config/._adblock-fast-opkg
    /etc/config/._dhcp
    /etc/config/._dropbear
    /etc/config/._firewall
    /etc/config/._firewall-opkg
    /etc/config/._https-dns-proxy
    /etc/config/._https-dns-proxy-opkg
    /etc/config/._luci
    /etc/config/._luci-opkg
    /etc/config/._network
    /etc/config/._opkg.installed
    /etc/config/._rpcd
    /etc/config/._system
    /etc/config/._ubootenv
    /etc/config/._ucitrack
    /etc/config/._uhttpd
    /etc/config/._wifi_schedule
    /etc/config/._wireless

Can I safely delete this ._* stuff?

Thanks

Those files shoud be safe to delete. They are likely caused by opening the folder and the files in MacOS (it would appear you had untar'd a backup file and then tar'd it back and restored it?).
