I have a directory which has a tree of directories inside. It's not the name of the dir that is long, it is the tree of dirs inside it that vista is complaining about.

I tried using-

rmdir /S [MyDirectory]

Didn't work. Any idea?

Rename dirs further up the path (to single characters if possible), thus reducing the overall length until Windows will accept it. It's worked for me in the past.

  • Use "dir /x" to view these shorter names.
