Every try to delete a windows folder only to find out that its path is too long and Windows NTFS doesn’t understand how to delete it? Well I just had this happen to me as I was unzipping the latest backup of my site to test some stuff out. What I ended up doing was opening a command prompt window and going to the parent directory and then typing:
rmdir /s “really long folder path name”
This will securely delete all sub folders and files and delete the directories regardless of what ISO standards you make have broken with how long the path ends up getting. I was afraid I was going to have to jump to Linux and use that to delete the folder but this was much easier
