    Does this clean the hidden folders and properties that MacOS adds and is almost impossible to delete in Windows?

      It uses JSZip to open the zip file, goes through and if the filename matches '__MACOSX' it removes it. That catches the hidden folders and files.

      If you want go to JSZip's demo 'Reading a file' https://stuk.github.io/jszip/documentation/examples/read-loc... and drag your original zip in there to have a look at the hidden files and folders, and then the generated zip to see what was taken out

      EDIT: updated link
