Clean 'trashes' in container file

[cool11]

I have a 'container' file being transferred between mac and windows, with a usb flash disk
If you know, like the good old truecrypt, now called veracrypt.
I do have an app like blueharvest to do the appropriate job, but it is like that something do not work well.
So, when I open this container file in windows, in every folder, I can see this duplicate file .file for each one of them.

How can I fix this?
Is it something about permissions on mac?
Do you suggest to do something in blueharvest app or use another application?

This in the nature of putting Mac files inside a container formatted for Windows (e.g. exFat format). The extra files contain file system metadata which is used by macOS, but not Windows.

I don't know anything more than the web site says about blueharvest, but it is something I would avoid unless your transfer is one way from macOS to Windows.

What am I doing wrong?

Full Disk Access allows BlueHarvest to do things outside its sandbox. But it is still subject to file and folder permissions. On my disks (which are APFS format), the .Trashes folders can't be modified (or deleted) without root permissions.

If it were me, I would leave well alone and not worry about the extra macOS files.

My problem is not when I use my files on mac.
It is when I have to access them to a pc.
You can imagine the mess of double files etc.
