I was obviously unlcear about this.

I can easily remove them all prior to uploading, but I would have to ensure this is done before any future updating and I couldn't guarantee I'd remember every time.

Trying to remove them once already on the empeg is impractical since there's no simple command (such as can be used on the PC) and so the alternative is trying to remove them individually.

In fact I think I'll remove them first, prior to bulk uploading with emptool, then use JEmplode for the updates - that doesn't seem to try and upload the dot files.
