Extra playlist help

I have a strange extra playlist called ._DOS. My actual Dos playlist is just DOS. It’s not causing anything, but it doesn’t aesthetically look nice (It’s just a black box). If anyone replies, thanks for the help. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

In your playlist directory, try to remove the file called ._DOS.lpl if any

There isn’t one. I probably should’ve mentioned that in the post.

This happened to me as well! It’s there, it’s just hidden. So make sure you’re able to view all your hidden files and it’ll show up.

How do you view hidden files?

From the command line, run “ls -a” in the playlists directory. If you’re using a GUI file browser, showing hidden files might be in a right click menu or in preferences; it depends on the program.

For future reference: in Linux, files that start with a period are hidden; they’re usually system or configuration files. The hiding is just for convenience; it avoids clutter when you’re looking through your files. You can copy, move, delete, rename, etc. hidden files just like normal, though.
