How to delete long file name

Using Robocopy to delete files that have a path and filename that is too long:

1. Notate the folder directory path that needs its contents to be deleted.
   • Example: C:\FolderToBeCleaned
2. From Windows File Explorer, create an empty folder anywhere on the hard drive:
   • Example: C:\EmptyFolder
3. Open a Windows Command Prompt as an Administrator.
4. Type the following command, replacing the example paths with yours:
   • Robocopy C:\EmptyFolder C:\FolderToBeCleaned /purge and ENTER
5. Now you may delete the FolderToBeCleaned folder
