fd -HI '^\.DS_Store$' $HOME -tf -X rm -v

find . -name “.DS_Store” -type d -exec rm -rf {} + -print

That doesn't work, DS_Store are files not directories ( you need to use -type f).
An equivalent find command would be:
find "$HOME" -type f -name '.DS_Store' -delete -print
find takes a while; fd is way, way faster, but find is preinstalled, so there is that.
