• "File Name Too Long" when copying files on USB using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

  When I copy about 60 GB of library files in a backup folder on a USB key, at the end of the copy, it is a dialog box indicating "file name too Long for the Destination Folder.  It shows that there are 62 records like that, and I can choose to ignore these files.

  1. I had formatted the USB stick to NTFS - which does not allow large file names?

  2. How can I see which files have this problem so I can shorten the file names?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  What is the capacity of the USB?

  Were you able to copy before?

  Try to format the drive once and then try and check if it is beneficial because it can also happen when there are viruses.

  You can also check the drive for errors.

• File name too long in Microsoft Excel 2008?

  I have Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac and I'm a big user of Excel.  Often, I receive an error message indicating that the file path that I specify when you create a new file is too long.  I am convinced that earlier versions of Mac OS x did not produce this error, or at least worked better.  I'm 10.11.4, OSX but I suffered with this problem for some time.  I read other reviews, stating that there may be a limit of 259 characters for the file name and path.

  My question: can someone tell me if this path length limitation has been removed or the less liberalised in the latest version of Excel?  Should an upgrade just to get rid of this nasty problem.

  Thank you...

• File name too Long to be copied to the same location on Different drive

  I have Vista 32 bit. I know the limits of length of file name.

  In my computer, I have a USB 2.0 hard drive, called 'J '. I have a Freecom 3 TB hard which the manual says is shown as 2 partitions for compatibility issues. It appears therefore as a partition 'K' and 'L '.

  I have a lot of music on my drive J, located in several subfolders. Number of files have reached the limit on the length of file name. TeraCopy using I'm just copy everything in the root of the drive of J in the root of my partition to 'L '.

  Out of thousands of files, 445 of them were not copied. I don't know the reason, but I guess that this is due to the limits of length of filename which is strange, because if the files are already on the J drive why can't they be copied to the partition of L? It's not like I'm adding a new folder in the partition of L, then put everything in there, I put everything in the root.

  TeraCopy is a button that allows you to see why the files were not copied. However it freezes if clicked, because there are so many files - it works when much less files are copied. I guess they were not copied because of file size limits.

• Cannot delete files and music always there but not display upward when I connect to the computer?

  Hi all

  Recently, I had a lot of problems with the music does not or don't play not I decided to delete all my e260 music and start again.  That's where the real problem started.

  For some reason I can't delete three of the albums on my player.  Each of the albums have what appear to be corrupted in them files. My computer does not recognize the file type and file extension is given so I don't know what they are.  Each file "appears" to 4 GB in size but that may not be appropriate for my e260 is obviously only 4 GB in size!

  Whenever I try to delete them I get an error message reading "cannot delete file: cannot read the source file or disc»

  I tried to update the firmware, reset e260 to factory default settings and made 'restore' thingy (where you hold registration and plug it into the computer, etc.) and these files are still there.

  After reading this thing of disk checking on this forum, I did this.  I was then able to remove two of the albums, but when I tried to delete the third album renamed 'a' and the damaged file shows 0 bytes in size, but I still can not remove.  However, I can move it to the folder music to any other folder.  I just can not remove!  When I do, I get an error message saying "cannot delete f: cannot find the file specified. '.  Be sure to only specify the path and the correct name.

  After all that I started my e260, and now I find that 2 other albums are always on it, even if they do not display any where when I connect it to the computer.  I can see and read these albums on the drive, and they seem well, they do not appear to be there when I plug it into the computer and look for them in windows Explorer.  The music folder is not hidden also.  These two albums are not part 3 albums that I could not remove, they are actually part of the new substance started sort of all these problems with the music does not and is not only now that they are the display upwards and play but are not appear when connected to the computer!

  I know it's probably not a lot of information but can someone tell me how to fix this?  If not, can I just format the * bleep * thing or I'll then have an e260 dead?

  See you soon,.

  PS: Sorry for the long windedness of this post.

  Format will not remove the firmware, which is the operating system of the Sansa. It removes only the content that you have added. It will go back to what it was when it was new out of the box.

  MTP does not matter if you have never used it. The ghost album can be just a list remains in your database file. Nevertheless, we must get rid of this corrupt file, so Format is probably your best option.

  For what it's worth, to connect with the PSG, your computer needs Windows Media Player 10 or 11 is installed. XP comes with WMP 9, so he will not see the Sansa in MTP mode. unless you have updated.

  1. On the desktop, right-click on the Recycle Bin.
  2. Then click the Empty trash to empty its contents.
  3. You will be asked if you are sure that before it permanently deletes the files.
  4. If you're absolutely sure, then click Yes to clear the contents of the Recycle Bin.
  5. Alternatively, you can double-click the Recycle Bin to open and examine its contents.
  6. And then on the file menu, click empty the Recycle Bin.
  7. After confirmation, Windows Vista will be empty all files from the Recycle Bin.

  Go to control panel / customization / Desktop Icons and remove the trash, click OK and close.  Then go back and add the trash.  See if the new basket has the same problem.

• Cannot delete files .ai

  I can't delete .ai files in Adobe Illustrator v.10 running on Vista.

  error that says "... cannot delete file is used beginning."

  I tried everything the web has to offer including: start-up, different removal software, changing aiicon.dll, shit, chsdsk, etc.

  I sure there are a lot of people who have this problem, I scan the web, however, no solution have seems to be found.

  Help, please!

  I had this problem frequently both. HAVE and. Files EPS on Windows XP, different versions of Illustrator, including 7 and 10. You can try this program:

  http://cleansofts.org/unlocker.html

  It runs quietly in the background until there is a sharing violation (for example, you can not delete a file, etc.). Then it pops up a window showing what process has the file locked. With Illustrator files, the culprit is usually Windows Explorer... my guess is that it tries to generate a thumbnail preview, but somehow never quite finished and leave the open file. You will be able to kill the offending process (which is kind of how dirty to do things, but drastic times... you know). Then you should be able to delete the files without problem.

• "Cannot save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

  Hello
  When I tried to save as a file, I get an error msg:
  "Cannot save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."
  
  The file is unwilling to accept any Photoshop.
  
  Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.6
  Photoshop CS4.
  
  I searched the Forum but did not find anything even though I'm sure someone has already asked it.
  
  would love to get a solution for this.
  Thank you
  Shlomit

  If Photoshop says that the file is opened - then some external process left the file open. It has nothing to do with it being open in Photoshop, or even in the bridge. This sometimes happens when Spotlight had bugs (who came more than once and been corrected in versions of dot operating system).

  The external process could be another application or service to OS like Spotlight.

• Cannot delete files with long file names in Windows 7

  Unnecessary Windows 7 will not erase a file whose name is too long. I have no name, it is in a temporary folder of IE. I can't get rid of it as options to rename will not be visible.

  Thanks, but I have solved the problem. The error message was about 'file path or destination file name is too long. It is the backup to the temporary internet file that was causing a problem: he made the PATH too long as she added additional elements on the path. That was simply solved by the path to 2 bits, (path upper and lower file path) to cut and remove separately.

  When I tried to delete the .jpg image with the extremely long filename at the end of the long path he says as the destination folder (ie the TRASH) could not hold the file due to excessive length. It's confusing to say the least.

  Anyway that little trash has bit the dust.

  Hi Malcolm,

  Thanks for posting the request in the Microsoft Community.

  It would be great if you can answer the following questions:

  1 have had any changes made on the computer before the show?

  2. when exactly do you face the question?

  3. what files you're talking about? Are you referring to all documents?

  4. do you get an error message? If Yes, what is the full and exact error message?

  Method 1:

  I suggest refer you to the link and try to run Microsoft fix:

  Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

  Method 2:

  Try to run Microsoft Safety Scanner for any malware or spyware infection and check if it helps.

  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  If you're still having problems, please reply and we will be happy to help you.

  Thank you.

• Cannot delete files from the external hard drive after copying using Robocopy

  Original title:! VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION! Files that cannot be deleted!

  I did a robocopy and he left during the night and when I came back it was in some kind of loop and my external hard drive was full. The files are not visible in Explorer and if I try to delete them in the command line that fails because some are too long. Urgent I need to redo the space on this external and copy the files to my parents and charity before fly me soon. Please can someone help me.

  * Looks like that I have multiple instances of the same files

  I don't know if you will be able to do this before your flight, but the drive must be partitioned and formatted, reformatted, or scanned for errors of NTFS file allocation table with repairs enabled. Depending on the size of the disk, this could take some time. You can also check statistics of SMARTDRIVE with a utility like Crystal Info disc to see if it is a failure.

  If you do not drive Professional recovery tools available, the native CHKDSK will do in a pinch.

  C:\Windows\System32>chkdsk /?
  Checks a disk and displays a status report.

  [CHKDSK [volume [[path] filename]]] [/ f] [/ v] [/ r] [/ x] [/ I] [/ c] [/ l [: size]] [/ b]

  volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
  mount point or volume name.
  filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
  /F fixes errors on the disk.
  /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and the name of each file
  on the disk.
  On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
  /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
  (implies / f).
  L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the logfile to the specified number
  of kilobytes.  If the size is not specified, displays currently
  size.
  /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary.
  All open handles to the volume would then be invalid
  (implies / f).
  /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  /C NTFS only: skips, checking of cycles within the folder
  structure.
  /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
  (implies / r)

  The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
  skip certain checks of the volume.

  Any routine review and car repair will take time. CHKDSK is no exception.

• Cannot delete files locked in the temp folder

  I emptied regularly delete all files in the temp via the function folder in the Tools menu of IE9 and also by searching on folder and deleting the contents of the temporary Local AppData file in the users folder.

  Ten days ago, I found there are some files in the folder temporary AppData that were locked and could not be removed. This only happens in a user account, and this isn't an administrator account. Opening of properties on any of the files by checking the Security tab, I find I am wierdly the sole owner of the file, but have limited permissions. I tried to change the permissions to get total control and then remove the file, but that did not work, nor has anything else I could think of. This included the stop of all open applications and disconnects all users.

  Other file properties:

  -Open with "Windows Shell Commo" - little matter that is.

  -Similar names to ~ DF38C18158B32C1039. TMP

  -Attributes: ATI

  -The size is small (512 bytes, for example)

  -No previous versions

  Normally the files in this folder have names like this except without the ~.

  After having in vain tried everything I could think of to delete these files, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller, who managed to remove all the files locked in the record at the time.  However, the problem resurfaced shortly after and this time Revo Uninstaller did not work.

  I spent a few days of research on the net and try different options without success until I stumbled on a recommendation to go into Control Panel, search for Java, open its settings menu and refuse authorisation for Java to back up the data on my computer.  It worked - I went back in the folder, the files were no longer locked, I was able to remove them as I usually do and I had no other problems with the locked files. Until yesterday.

  I double-checked the settings of Java to ensure that authorization still denied to save data on my computer. I don't remember now if I set permission to refuse when I checked again. I tried then to Revo Uninstaller again, but he failed again to remove these files locked. I noticed today that the date for all files is last July 15.  It seems (so far) no new files have been generated, but I still cannot delete locked files 51 of my computer.  My biggest concern, obviously, is security.  I don't want to locked files including origins, functions and activities that I do nothing on my computer, especially if I'm unable to remove them.

  I want to know how to remove these files, what caused do them appear in the first place and how to prevent them from happening again.

  Thank you!

  Thanks for this suggestion, Oberwald. It came a little too late, however.  Finally, it occurred to me to try my anti-virus software file shredder function and he managed to remove the locked files.

  I believe now these locked files were likely due to some kind of malware - after shredding, my desktop Recycle bin flashed repeatedly icon when I shut down the computer. Also, after have logged you in today, I find everything runs much faster and no sign of keylogging.  Seem to be back to normal.

  I was able to save the link and it will try in the future if necessary.

  Thanks again!
