Path Too Long, Windows Cannot Delete Or Move Files by joannajragsdale: 3:46pm On Nov 18, 2019 |
I copied the Pictures folder from my friend's non-working laptop using a Linux disk and external hard drive. When I try to copy it to a new Win 8 computer using Windows, Windows says the path is too long, cannot copy some folders and files. The problem seems to be some iPad photo backups that ended up in folders that are nested 12 folders deep - folders within folders within folders, etc. When I go to the deepest folder level and try to move or even delete some files, Windows refuses, again says path is too long, even though I am only trying to delete. I assume I would be able to sort this out in Linux, but I'd prefer to do it in Windows if anyone has an idea how it can be done. Thanks |

Is not going to work until you go the Linux computer and copy it in a single file and transfer to your window computer it is a backup file make for only Linux operating system |

Rename the said file and try delete or move it. |

If I'm right the file is I side a folder that is inside another folder. If that's the case move it from the current folder to the one before it .continue like that until you gets to the last folder. |
