I was working on my android project, which is stored on Google Drive, and I started getting a bunch of errors. When I looked, it looked like every folder in my project had a desktop.ini file added to it. I figured that I would just go into Google Drive and delete them all but if I search for desktop.ini it returns no results in Windows Explorer. I've tried deleting them through Eclipse but it seems like when I delete one, three more take it's place. I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • See if you can set the build system to ignore them somehow. – Chris Stratton Apr 22 '14 at 21:00
  • desktop.ini is a hidden windows file that holds settings specific to your windows folder. Google Drive probably uploads everything whether it is hidden or not. I think the more important questions are what is the errors you are getting. –  Apr 22 '14 at 21:09

if you click on the package or class and then click on the top bar "Project", an option page should open. navigate to:Resource - Recourse filters. click on add filters. Filter type: exclude all. Applies to files (all children). type desktop.ini in the box and click ok.
