Been struggling with this. 2016 File Server.
Trying to delete some files on 2016 Windows file server. Path or File name to long. will not let me delete. It is not the path - its the file name causing the problem.
Tried everything as Owner of directory w. full access
Tried the following:
subst to shorten the path- does not work. same problem
Powershell remove-item ... - force- says file does not exist. (PS does see the file, I tried -include partOfFileName and in the error it spits back the complete file name)
CMD rem /f - "filename or ext is to long"
robocopy - I was able to copy the file names to E:\test folder. But then could not delete the files from their. This confirms the issue is filename NOT path.
"source file name larger than is supported by the file system. try moving to a location w/ shorter path name or renaming..."
I cannot move or rename it. Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful.
