Is this issue reproducible using the latest version of Midnight Commander?

• I confirm the issue is still reproducible with the latest version of Midnight Commander

How to reproduce

Deleting folder with some files and their pesty ._* counterparts created by MacOS
(recursive delete = yes)

Expected behavior

Folder get's deleted

Actual behavior

n files reside in this folder
having to delete this folder n+1 times until it's really gone
(recursive delete = yes)

Additional context

I think it has to something to do with this stupid .* files, which MacOS creates for every regular file.
When I get rid of these .* files before and try to delete the folder, it works as expected.
