Be very careful here.
Temporary variables have names like __000000.
That "__" is _two_ underscore characters. Depending
on the font you are using, it may look like a single
character.
If you
drop _*
you will drop any temporary variables that should have
been dropped but also any variables that begin with
a _single_ underscore. Lots of official programs,
some unofficial programs and no doubt some do files
create such variables. Dropping them could lose you
valuable information.
