The date and time was Tuesday, June 23, 2009 2:09:01 AM, and on a whim,
Problem with formatting merged fields pounded out on the keyboard:
I cannot delete a folder and a file because the name is to long.
I have tried safe mode and rm and del in dos with no success.
How can I delete it?
In addition to the other responses, you can try this:
Open a Command Prompt (Start, Run, type cmd and click OK) and type the
partial command:
RD "\\?\
but do not press Enter.
Open an Explorer window. From the opened Explorer window grab the bad
folder and drag it to the Command Prompt and drop it at the end of the
incomplete command.
Complete it encapsulating it with a set of quotation marks at the end of
the command line. Make sure you *are* at the end of the line, in case
of trailing spaces. Then press enter. (If the folder name, when dropped,
brings a set of quotes with it, delete the one directly in front of the
drive letter and don't add another at the end, so that you only have one
complete set around the whole command, otherwise you will get a syntax
error.)
