Solution: Cannot Delete File/Folder Because Name Is Too Long
1 min read
Question:
Deleting a file or folder is not working. An error message shows up stating that the file/folder name is too long: what is the solution?
Answer:
A simple solution that works is to rename the file or folder. Right click on the file/folder and then click on “Rename”.
What new name should I give to the file/folder?
Any name will do. You can name it “A”, “B”, “C” etc.
If a file name is “afdsd…….sdasdsd.rar”, you can change it to just “A”. I suggest removing the file extension too.

You are absolutely right this is what i did and was able to delete files.
