      This seems like a bit of a scam:
      On your external drives you can prevent the creation of .DS_Store

      defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool true
      defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteUSBStores -bool true
      

      If you really want to continuously delete DS_Store from both your internal and external hard drives you can set up a cronjob:

      15 1 * * * root find / -name '.DS_Store' -type f -delete

      When I had a Mac, literally the first thing I did was set up a Hazel rule to delete every single .DS_Store in every folder.
