path too long

Post by halaywi »

Trying to run deletion, I get for many files a pop-up that says, "Interupted action. Error code: Ox80010135; path too long. An unexpected error is keeping you from moving the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem."
I continue to get this for many files. I searched in the Manual with no luck.
What can I do?
Thanks!!!

Are you moving them from a zip file? It could be hitting a path length limit.

Well, it would certainly be beneficial to know if in fact it is ZIP related or not.

Anyhow, try, Options | More Options... | Advanced, Long path support (experimental).

Thanks, Rube!
I just checked and most if not all of the files in question are in fact zips. So I checked the appropriate box in the Advanced Options but and ran the remover again, but it did not help. Anything else that can be done?

It seems there is a path limit when moving files from zip files (note that it doesn't create a new zip - the files are copied as normal files).

Something to look at for the next update.
