Cannot delete or rename long .msg filename

Receive error: The filename you specified is invalid or
too long. Specify a different filename.

The file has already been saved and was delivered in a zip
file. It has been successfully unzipped but cannot not be
opened, renamed or deleted. Any workarounds? Other
programs that will rename or delete the file? I cannot
delete it from dos using deltree or del.
