Have you ever faced a problem of not being able to manage your files properly? Do error messages like Path too long and Cannot delete file look familiar to you? If you know how it feels to receive one by one irritating error messages about too long paths you will be in a search for a program to help you. Here you have Long Path Tool at your service.
Long Path Tool is a small program that can manage long pathnames. For some reason Windows API thinks that you don’t need more than 250 characters for a pathname or a filename. So, it limits you to that and refuses to work with longer names. Long Path Tool can do what Windows fails to do: copy, delete and rename files up to 32,000 characters long. No more annoying File name too long, Too long path, Destination Path Too Long or any other error message will appear. Long Path Tool is an easy to download software with a wide range of functions and user-friendly interface. There is no need of any additional software: it works smoothly on every Windows version.
Why do I keep receiving error messages?
The problem with files lies in Microsoft system regulations which do not allow having filenames longer than 255 characters. It includes spaces and all non-alphanumeric characters. It leads to inability of copying, deleting or renaming files or paths. Every time you try to do so Windows will show error messages of different kind like filename too long, destination path too long, path too long, the path is too long after being fully qualified and so on. The problem can arise with any Windows version you use starting from Windows 95. What makes it even worse is that older versions cannot see long filenames at all unless you have a special driver installed. You can receive error messages like:
- The file name(s) would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location that has a shorter path
- The specified file or folder name is too long. The URL path for all files and folders must be 260 characters or less (and no more than 128 characters for any single file or folder name in the URL). Please type a shorter file or folder name
- Destination Path Too Long
- error 0x80010135 Path too long
- Winrar 260 character limit fix
- Total path and filename length must not exceed 260 characters
- File Name could not be found. Check the spelling of the filename, and verify that the file location is correct
- Path too long
- Cannot delete file or folder
- The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name
Microsoft did not add any long pathnames support and error messages keep appear again and again. The problem cannot be solved without an additional program or tiresome search through all directions and entering special commands on the command line. Trying to solve problem by yourself may be harmful for your computer and many of those programs that you can find on the Internet are either expensive or not helpful at all.
