Next we are going to talk about how to use long path tool to search for the files in your USB or external drives with certain character lengths. After you open your long Path tool software copy and select your USB drive you can enter the 256 character limit windows can handle to search and list all long path files with are more than 255 characters. Windows data structure is programmed not to allocate more than this length size per each file. Long path tool changes this structure my creating virtual image temporary paths so you can make control and overwrite/rewrite the attributes and properties of this file and select new save destination in the drive and after the modification is done, this virtual directory is removed which saves us any capacity losses. In a single click you will find all the long path files and directories listed in front of you for control like a walk in the park to make changes you need to do and you can choose to save the files to new destinations after renaming them, even if you cannot see or access them in the windows explorer.
