I've been popping cards out of my cameras and into a Mac and back every other day without any issues. Deleting files shouldn't be an issue as long as one empties the 'Trash' before ejecting the card/drive. Having hidden files turned on, I can see the litter created by Mac OSX in the main folder and the subfolders too. The solution I've found is CleanMyDrive 2, it erases all the litter when the drive is ejected.
For example - the following screen grab shows OSX litter amounting to a whopping 3.2 GB on a 128GB card used with my GC. All the junk is cleared on ejecting the drive.
Edit:
Ok most of that 3.2 GB is what I deleted and is lying in the 'Trash', on ejection those files are removed along with the '.trashes' folder containing the said files by utilising the mentioned utility. The '.trashes' folder is located on the SD card and remains if the 'Trash' isn't manually cleared before ejection under normal circumstances.
Point being that the utility takes care of it either way.
Normally the junk is in KB's.
