I can`t delete a folder because it has LOTS of folders inside it. Believe me, it is really lots.
(E:\Backups\john\Users\john\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\USERDA~1\Default\PLUGIN~1\GOOGLE~1\MAILGO~1.COM\HTTPS_~1\GOOGLE~1\41\67\34\0\69\24\78\58\62\64\5\45\81\27\61\91\95\42\27\36\91\4\2\53\92\82\21\16\18\95\47\26\71\38\69\12\67\99\35\94)
The path is even longer...
I have tried several ways for deleting it: "Unlocker Tool", "rd /s" in Command Prompt, "subst x: e:\backups\john" in Command Prompt, no one was effective.
It's IMPOSSIBLE to rename/move files.
I don't want to break up anything, so please think through your answer.
How can I get rid of it?
Answer
Try the rm utility in my Hamilton C shell. I wrote it using the new long Unicode filename format interally, so if the problem is just that the name is too long, this should get it. It sounds like this is a one-time thing, so the free demo version is all you need. If you don't want it afterward, it uninstalls cleanly in seconds.
If you try it and it doesn't work, please tell me as I'd like to fix it so it will.
