You must have faced error messages, while working on your computer or laptop, like a file cannot be deleted because access is denied or an error occurred while deleting folder or file. They can be so irritating and confusing especially if you are in the middle of some serious work. However, you can now say goodbye to such misleading and irksome messages thanks to a handy application known as Long Path Tool.
It is essentially an application that facilitates deletion of long path or blocked files. What is more, you can also see a file is being locked by what programs and unlock it from them or close/delete them from disk physically.
What is this tool all about?
Whatever problems you encounter in renaming, managing and unlocking files that seem to possess a long filename can be simplified or, rather, eliminated by Long Path Tool. This tool is especially meant for addressing problems with regard to renaming, managing and accessing files with above 255 characters. This can easily replace Far Manager, Windows Explorer and other utilities concerned with file management because you can use it in any operating system you want, which includes the age-old Windows 95 version too.
What else is the tool capable of doing?
The Long Path Tool can prove to be useful in a number of situations involving error messages. These include unable to read from disk or source file, unable to delete folder or file, a sharing violation has occurred, someone may be using the destination or source file, the file name specified by you is too long or not valid and other such errors related to file management.
The primary purpose of this tool is to give you respite from all these problems and offer you a smooth interface to work on so that you can get freedom from infuriating error messages like error 1320, too long filename, too long path etc. The notable thing is that pathnames with as much as 32,000 characters can be handled by this wonderful program.
