I just found this file in my ~/Downloads/ folder.

Code: Select all

'~$rsonnel Meeting October 12, 2021.docx'

it seems to be some kind of useless file created by Microsoft Word.

I want Hazel to trash any files like this in the future, so I tried to make a rule for any file which "begins with"

Code: Select all

~$

But it does not seem to match.

I made my own file using `touch` and that file was moved successfully, so I am wondering if Hazel ignores these files on purpose if they come from Mirosoft? I'm very confused

Are the files visible in Finder normally?

No they are somehow "hidden" in Finder, but I saw them in a terminal window when I did `ls`

In particular, the ScanInvisibles default will allow you to have Hazel process files that are normally invisible.
