There are times when you want to either delete, copy, rename or open a file or folder in your computer, either at home or at work and but instead of the command being executed, you get a Path Too Long error message. This happens because the file you are managing has a filename longer than the pre-set Windows limit.
If you want to delete a file or folder for instance, you are prone to get the error messages; Filename too long to delete, or Filename is not valid, or Source path too long to delete, or Cannot remove folder, or Cannot delete folder: access is denied, or Path too deep.
If you were copying a file or folder and the filename is too long to be executed by your OS, the error message returned is usually; File cannot be copied, or There has been a sharing violation, or The source or destination file may be in use, or Make sure that the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use, or Destination path too long, or Error copying file or folder
You may also want to rename or open files but instead the OS returns; Filename could not be found. Check the spelling of the filename, and verify that the file location is correct, or The path you entered is too long, enter a shorter path, or The file could not be accessed, or Could not find this item, or The filename extension is too long.
All these are file management errors that result from trying to execute commands with filenames exceeding the 256 character limit by Windows OS. Windows has a pre-set limit of 256 characters in which you cannot execute files exceeding this limit. This leaves users with more questions than answers as to what they should do with their important personal and work files they are not ready to lose because they are not opening or copying to backup. The errors are annoying because users are not able to delete the files they no longer need so as to free up space and even renaming and moving files becomes a problem.
