• Destination path too Long

  I get the following dialog box 'Destination path' too long when you try to copy my photos from my Seagate FreeAgent Xtreme 2 TB portable hard drive.  I tried to move more than 450 GB of files (that are jpg, cr2 or psd file formats) and received the above message. Tried to go on a smaller subset of 200 GB but I got the same message. The dialog also contained the following text "You can shorten the file name and the tr again, or try a location with a shorter path".  This message truncates the copy process.

• When you back up my files to a new hard drive, getting the error "destination path too long".

  Hello

  Today I was backing up my files on a new hard drive that I bought a week ago, and during the copy, I received the message following 'destination path too long ".
  And the file name is actually short "crouch" here is a snap of the image:

  I don't know what to do!

  Original title: destination path too long?

  The key factor is not the name of the file itself, but the total length of the file name and the path of the folder.

  The help files for the application that you are using could tell you how long the total combination of the file-file may be [some more older can be limited to 255 characters, but I was not able to discover the current constraints].

• Path too Long for the Installation of the software

  I am trying to install a version of the CAD software to one of my PCs employee.  When we run the Setup file, we get an error message too long file path.  The message says that the file path is 99 characters long, but the limit is 93.  This seems like a terribly low limit for a C: drive.

  The path goes only in a folder as well.  Thus, its C:/Program Files/Autodesk / "name of file along here."

  I understand long path problems when you go deep in several folders and the typical character limit is 254.  I do not understand why we are running in a limited issue when you have only a single deep folder on the C: drive and only have 99 total characters in the path.  Is this a problem of windows 8?  Or maybe a problem with the PC itself?  Is it possible to change the limit of characters on the C: drive since 93 is so short and also seems to be a random number?

  Justin

  Your best bet is to contact the CAD developer, we would have no way of knowing how many levels deep the software installs.

• In Event Viewer, is it possible to see Destination path too Long

  I want to know if there is a way, in the event viewer, see the list of files whose names are too long.  I write down everyone who needs to be changed, but a log file that I could print would be much faster.  If I CUT and paste, then the long named files would remain, but it is a copy.  So, I must go back and find one by one.  Not having to write simply would make it faster.

  Thank you!

• I can't delete a folder: path too long

  I have a deep folder structure and can not remove it.  Is there a tool that I could use?  I can't believe that Windows XP doesn't have a tool or a command to do this.

  One more thing that might work is to use the program "Robocopy " (robust copy) of Microsoft.  This program will certainly deal with files that have paths exceed 255 characters, but it's basically a copy program.  I hope that you could turn into a removal program by specifying the switch "/ MOVE" (so that it deletes the source files after copying) and maybe see if you can move/copy the file into the bit bucket "ZERO:  If Robocopy does not appear on your system, you can get to withoutTechnical Resource Kit .

  In addition, somewhere I think I read that you can specify long paths if you use the "\?". "------" syntax.  When you use it well, you must specify the name of full path from the drive letter, as in:
  «\\?\C:\Documents and Settings\User\...» »

• How to find files whose path names are too long to copy to an external drive?

  Hello all,.

  I copied a folder containing files 6 854 into 1 329 folders on an external USB drive.  On the way, I got a total of 677 reviews "path too long name.  After the first few opinions, I clicked on the option "ignore all".

  Now I want to find the files that incriminated, whose name, or the path is too long to copy, and then copy them all to a single high level external hard disk folder.  Is it possible in Windows Explorer to search for names of files/paths that exceed this limit?

  Thank you

• Problem too Long way destination - Item not found to rename folders

  I searched an answer in the world to this question and it seems that none of the '' correction '' that people have had success with worked for me, so I write my own question in the hope that someone can help me, and in turn anyone who stumbles on this problem will find this thread and be helped as well.

  My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1

  Here's the problem:
  For a few months now, I was not able to make a new folder and rename it with windows Explorer (I have to go to the command prompt and do it this way)
  It gave me errors "Destination path too Long", despite the path doesn't exceed NOT the limit of 260 characters. Even if I rename the folder '1' or 'a' it gives the error. I have files that were created before the problem that are fine, but they can't really be renamed with windows Explorer.

  It also gives me the 'path of destination too long' error when you move files in other folders, thus making the Organization of difficult cases.

  I tried to uninstall the update "kb980408" as other threads have said... and it did nothing for me. I tried to delete the reg files as indicated on multiple threads to try to solve the problem that some people had success with... I have not the case.

  I ran chkdsk, several malware scans and viruses which did nothing.

  I had not initially installed SP1, so I tried to see if it changed anything. He did. Instead of the "destination path too long" error, I then go "object not found" when you try to rename a file or move a folder to another folder. If I hit "try again" on this box, then it would actually rename the folder or move the folder successfully. Well, not being able to live with the stupid error that appears when I want to simply create and rename a folder, I searched for a way to get rid of THIS problem that brought me to remove these registry keys once more. After reboot, back to the error "destination path too long" and not rename/move the files once more.

  Anyone had any experience with this problem and you can guide me in a solution that does not involve a clean install?

• Cannot delete the file - paths are too long

  Trying to delete a folder.  He complains that the folder contains items whose names are too long for the Recycle Bin.

  The problem I think is that this folder is a backup copy of an old folder AppData, in which it seems to be an almost infinite folder "Application Data" series - I am sure that these are in fact the links as opposed to records, but there is a huge tree full of them.  At the end of some branches, there are some 'real' files, but then several sub-branches of Application Data files.

  So I guess that when I try to remove the top-level folder, the full path to the way in which the files down is just too long.

  When I shift-DELETE, nothing happens, and I tried to remove it from the command prompt, nothing helps.

  Don't know what to do next.  I want to just get rid of the folder tree.

  Mike

  OK, well, irritating as it is that there is no apparent way to force Vista to do, I just crossed the entire folder structure and renamed each 'Application Data' folder to 'a', to shorten the overall paths, and this then allowed me to remove the top-level folder.

• Path and file name of the message is too long to be copied-how fix?

  On Windows 7, TB ver 24.6.0, I use a program called SecondCopy to copy my email when my C drive on my desktop to our file server.

  I get several messages each day like this one for the copy be saved on our network data sharing:

  04/07/2014 21:07:16 - failed to create \\Oz\Data\System\Users\billr\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5kxps6et.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail - 4. com\INBOX.mozmsgs\urn.correios.msg.201211050157328fade3baa08b405e9a940681276b34d9%401352080653478.rte-svc-onebox-na-1d-i-8da6c8f1.us- east - 1.amazon.com.wdseml cannot create the file «» The file name or extension is too long

  I did some shorten folder names, but my names pale in comparison with the LOOOOONG TB gives them names.

  How can I fix?

  I did some shorten folder names, but my names pale in comparison with the LOOOOONG TB gives them names.

  This is because the wdseml files are just files created in order to allow windows to search to index your mail. I will not allow it and safe lots of disk space completely wasted on a feature that I don't use. Thunderbird has a search engine perfect condition. At least as good as windows search.
  Your mail is stored in highest MBOX files in the profile as well as a file of the same name with an extension of MSF that indexes the contents of the folder. One file and one index per mail folder. In the above example, it will be \\Oz\Data\System\Users\billr\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5kxps6et.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail - 4. com

  So I suggest backing up your profile under these space takers and seriously consider just disable windows search. Menu (Alt + T) tools > options > advanced > General in respect of the integration of systems.

  In addition we have all to live in the 256-character limit on the length of the path imposed by windows.
