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
I have spent many hours dealing with this on my own so I figured I would write down the solution so I wouldn’t have to research everything again. If you are running a 64 bit system and need to use *.MDB drivers you need to make sure the following is set:
run: “regsvr32 odbcconf.dll” from c:\windows\Syswow64\
Edit ODBC using: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
That will save you many hours of frustration with x64 systems
