Just in case you weren't aware, .DS_Store files hold more than just the view settings for Finder windows.

These .DS_Store files are also where the OS X Finder Comments are stored for folders and files which have them set.

I'm not sure if the author of this app bothers to point that out anywhere, but if you make regular use of file Comments, the .DS_Store Cleaner function could very well carry the alternate name of "OS X File Comment Stripper".

Just something to keep in mind.....
