    I have seen a number of posts regarding this problem. I have tried CMDs erase, del, RD, File Shredder, cut and paste to a root folder, "file shredder" (that tries to install a number of junk programs), and "Long Path File Tool" that wants me to buy it to try. I can move the folders but never can delete the files. I get this more often on a USB drive than my hard drives.

    Seriously, Microsoft needs to come up with a tool to handle this. So far, the only fix is to format the USB drive.

    See the error message below.

    Hi Gregger,

    did you ever try this: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Delimon-Win32-Explorer-V40-bc957ab4  ?

    Please let me know if you were able to remove your file using it.

    Regards,
    Martin

    Here's another solution:

    Robocopy /MIR with an empty folder as a source:

    Hi,

    today chances are that Powershell with PSALphaFS comes up to be the best solution.
    https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSAlphaFS/1.0.0.0

    Use can install it like that: 

    install-module psalphafs

    when done you have a cmdlet "remove-longitem", so you can easily run

    remove-longitem c:\your\path\whatever

    Reagrds,
    Martin

    If you cannot delete a folder then it might be because of long path file or long filename. You can easily solve it by using LongPathTool. Thank you.

    Hello Gregger404,

    The Windows NTFS file name, including the path, cannot exceed 255 characters. If you need to copy or move them, use robocopy. If you need to delete, shorten the name/path below the threshold and then you can delete.
