The terminal can help you here.  Open terminal and change to the  
directory you want to delete all .ds_store files from (including  
subdirectories).  One way to do this is to type "cd " and then drag  
the folder from the finder.  Type "return" and that will change the  
active directory of the terminal.

Type this:

find ./ -name ".DS_Store" -exec rm -f {} \;

This should get rid of all the files.  I use it all of the time.
