Really Gs RichCopy 360 and "Long Path Tool "are great for this case especially if you don't need to keep the structure as it

There is another way to get around this which is to use the SUBST command. Say you have a series of sub-directories which each have 50 or more characters per folder name nested withing each other. if you go down the directory tree but find you're out of characters, create a virtual drive in the lowest sub-directory, then change to that virtual drive, then you can delete the files (or create new ones). In this way the length of the path is actually without limit - just keep SUBSTing each too-long-a-directory for a virtual drive letter and voila - another 255 chars are possible

[justinmendoza]

I was getting really frustrated until I seen this, you rock man!

[tutotranslation]

So simple and easy. I did not even have to watch the whole video to the end. The other videos are so complicated and do not work. thank you.

[theodosioslazaris]

oh my God! I was desperate because in every tutorial I found on the internet I couldn't understand a single word! I was reading about programmes I have to download etc etc, and I thought that there is no simple way to delete such a file. To be honest, when I first saw your video, I believed that nothing will happen, but, YES I DID IT. I DELETED THE file! Thank you from my heart! Thank you!

[BlueRita]

what a life saver! I couldn't deal with this folder anymore.. for months I've been trying to delete it and couldn't ! the other solutions I could find always involved installing programs and mess with advanced properties and I didn't want to do that.. BEST FIX EVER!

[Highlander]

This solution worked first time.   Just what I needed to delete some pesky files created by students in old home folders! Thanks so much!
