I had installed Tomcat in my WinXP SP2 machine. Something went wrong
and although Tomcat is working fine, it created a recursive folder
structure
TomcatJSPExample\build\web\WEB-INF\classes\TomcatJSPExample\build\web\...
etc. Due to this, some of the inner folders are having a path too long
for Windows to access. So Windows can neither access them, nor can
delete them.
I would very much like to delete this inner forders, which are
basically of no use (how did they come to exist in the first place?).
However, I have been unable to delete these folders. Every time I try
to delete them, I get the following error:
Cannot delete schemas: The file name you specified is not valid or too
long.
Specify a different file name.
I have tried doing it with Windows explorer, in DOS (does not give any
error in DOS, but neither does it delete the folders), and also
programmatically using .Net. Has anyone faced this issue? Any known
resolution to this?
Thanks a lot in advance for any kind of help on this.
