SOLVED File name too long can't delete it or the Folder it resides in

[nownthen]

I tried to delete a Folder and I am getting a message that a file name is too long and I can't rename the file to shorten the name. How do I change the name of the file so I can delete it and then delete the Folder?

Maybe try a third party utility like
https://www.malwarebytes.com/fileassassin/
See if that will work on your problem.

Dear Trouble, Thank you for your attention to my problem, I tried the program you suggested but it did not work, and after much research, I used the program UNLOCKER 1.9.2 and that worked for me.

OK.... thanks for the follow-up info.
Kinda funny as I usually recommend Unlocker

But it has gotten a bit of bad press lately. The installer includes some crapware and you need to perform an advanced install to make sure you uncheck the add-in crap so you don't end up with a toolbar in your browser you don't want.
Thought I would mix it up a little this time a go with FileAssassin from Malwarebytes.
Sorry that it didn't work for you.
