Path or File Name Too long Errors in Cmd.exe

Cmd.exe is a Microsoft default command line interface used on diverse Windows based operating systems, including Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 and 8, Windows Server 2003, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012.

This utility allows to accomplish various manipulations with the file system, launch programs from the command line, interact with running programs etc. Cmd.exe is a system process that is necessary for correct computer work and shouldn’t be removed. It allows access to the Microsoft Windows Command Prompt, also known as Microsoft DOS and provides disk and file maintenance functions to the PC as well as network functions.

File name too long to delete error

In the cases when path/file name exceeds the max_path length setting or 256 characters limit on the NTFS file system partitions, remove and delete functions may not operate correctly in cmd.exe. A user can get the following error messages: “There are no more files” or “File not found” while trying to delete/move/remove those files from the computer.

It happens if filename is longer than 256 characters – the maximum path length allowed in Windows based operation systems. Cmd.exe also uses this limit while NTFS doesn’t have such limits concerning file or total path length. When a user utilizes cmd.exe on FAT partitions this 256 character path length limit will also work. Microsoft confirmed that this problem in the Microsoft products list.

After having tried numerous programs to delete a number of folders from one of my drives nothing worked. Even using the Command Line with every command and extension I could think off failed. Then I tried your program - Path Too Long Utility™. It worked simply and effectively. To your team of technicians a heartfelt thankyou.

Thank you so much for developing the path too long utility. It was the only software that eliminated the files clogging my hard drive, and it freed up 345 GB of space! Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

Thanks. I had some kind of a virus that wouldn't let me load any security programs. But I had located the application and your program enabled me to delete it. Thanks a million!

Excellent. That worked. Took it over an hour but it successfully deleted a nested application data series which nothing else would touch and which had swallowed up 79GB of my HDD. Paid for itself in one go.

Ha! I was able to delete several troublesome WORD files. Thanks!

I needed the 'Pro Version' badly. It is a fantastic program for my needs, in the beginning I had couple of error messages, but I worked around (such as I was copying over files gave me chkdisk error msg, then second time it copied only 250 files instead of 300 files completely-for example!??! I deleted copied folder and re-tried then it worked! etc. etc...)

I am happy with your product, I have discovered not so long ago, I find it so convenient to help solve the problems of file too long to make a backup copy from HDD because blocking 255 character windows. This is a really useful tool that works very well.

I used the product for the first time to delete a file that I no longer needed. Files was copied from a users “Shared Directory” to a preservation server. A few of the files I needed to delete, when I attempted to delete one (1) of the files would not delete because it was too long. I found your tool on the internet, down-loaded the application and successfully deleted the file.
I was very happy J.
