I need some urgent help from you all with my Windows Vista. I have few files on my system with very long name. There are bunch of such files on my system eating up huge space. Hence i wanted to delete them all. But when i select them and press Delete button to remove, it ends up with the following error message:
"The source file name(s) are larger than is supported by the file system.
Try moving to a location that has a shorter path name or try renaming to a shorter name(s) before attempting this operation."
Also when i try deleting them via DOS box (rd /s/q), it again gives me an another error saying "Filename is too long." As i remember this was not the case with Windows XP. I was able to delete such files in XP without any problem. Any idea what is wrong? Is there any way removing them in vista? Please dont tell me to rename all these 3000+ files manually and delete them!!
