File Name Too Long - Can't Delete

G

Guest

Hello Gurus,

I have a file (mp3) in a folder. The file can not be deleted as I am told
that the filename is too long and there are no manipulation options on the
right click.

Any ideas how I delete this file.

thanks

Open a dos window to that folder, and use a wildcard for the rest of the
name.

cd thatfolder

del myfilenam*.*
