Welcome to the forum :cheers:

Download the long path tool from the link, run it and change the path of the folder to a shorter one and delete

I experienced this problem too. Then my friend who was a programmer advised me to use Long Path Tool. I thought it wont work, but luckily it did. I hope you can try it too. But of course try also something else if it wont work for you. But anyway, good luck!
