Dhowaan markii aan dhex dhex baadhayo qaar ka mid ah faylalkayga kaydka ah iyo faylalka ku jira Windows PC-ga, waxa aan la kulmay qaar ka mid ah faylal kayd ah oo hore oo aan rabay in aan tirtiro. Ma aanan haysan wax faa'iido ah oo loogu talagalay kayd hore, sidaas darteed waxaan rabay in aan tirtiro faylka .tar ee la cufay.

Laakiin markii aan tirtiray, waxa aan helay fariinta khaladka ah ee soo socota:

Magaca(yada) faylka aad ayuu ugu dheeraan lahaa galka loo socdo

Sida muuqata, faylka la cufan waxa ku jiray faylka sawirka JPG , kaas oo ^(JPG)Windows -kaygu awoodi waayay inuu tirtiro. Isticmaalka ikhtiyaarka Skip , waxaan tirtiray dhammaan faylkan mooyee. Hadda, maxay tani u dhacday?

Marka la eego nidaamka magac-bixinta caadiga ah ee  faylka Windows , wadarta magaca ma awoodo, ama dariiqa ma dhaafi karo 259 xaraf. Tan waxaa ku jira dariiqa galka, magaca faylka, iyo kordhinta faylka. Haddii ay dhacdo, markaa markaad isku daydo inaad tirtirto, waxaad heli doontaa qaladkan.

Maximum Path Length Limitation: In the Windows API (with some exceptions discussed in the following paragraphs), the maximum length for a path is MAX_PATH, which is defined as 260 characters. A local path is structured in the following order: drive letter, colon, backslash, name components separated by backslashes, and a terminating null character. For example, the maximum path on drive D is “D:\some 256-character path string” where “” represents the invisible terminating null character for the current system codepage. (The characters < > are used here for visual clarity and cannot be part of a valid path string) says MSDN.

Magaca^(Filename) faylka oo aad ugu dheer galka meesha loo socdo

Hadda xaaladdeyda, dariiqa galka buuxa wuxuu ahaa:

D: Site Backups\ Misc\ backup-4.7.2012_23-41-31_thegadget.tar backup-4.7.2012_23-41-31_thegadget backup-4.7.2012_23-41-31_thegadget homedirect 2 public_html2 wp-content2 uploading

Magaca feylkuna aad buu u dheeraa - sida Muusiga-soo-saare-…-iyo-video-games.jpg^{(Music-producer-…-and-video-games.jpg)} – sida ka muuqata sawirka.

Waxaan furay goobtiisa oo aan isku dayay inaan tirtiro ama aan beddelo^{(delete or rename)} faylka. Xitaa la iima soo bandhigin ikhtiyaarka ah inaan sidaas sameeyo. Haddii aad dib u magacaabi karto, waa fiican - laakiin la iima soo bandhigin doorashadan.

Khiyaamadan fudud waxay ka shaqeysay kiiskeyga, waxaana rajeynayaa inay sidoo kale ku caawiso.^{(This simple trick worked in my case, and I hope it helps you too.)}

Mararka qaarkood si fudud dib-u-kicinta, socodsiinta Check Disk ama adeegsiga qolo saddexaad oo tirtirta freeware ayaa sidoo kale loo yaqaan inay ka caawiso tirtiridda faylasha iyo faylalka aan la tirtirin .

Waxa kale oo aad isticmaali kartaa freeware-ka Long Path Fixer si aad u hagaajiso khaladaadka Jidka^{(Path Too)} aadka u dheer ee Windows .

Haddii aysan waxba caawinin, markaa waxaa laga yaabaa inaad rabto inaad eegto mawduucan Microsoft^{(Microsoft thread)} halkaasoo siyaabo horumarsan laga soo jeediyay iyadoo la adeegsanayo CMD iyo Robocpy^(Robocopy) .

The file name(s) would be too long for the destination folder

Recently while browsing through some of my backup files and folders on my Windows PC, I came across some old backup files that I wanted to delete. I did not have any use for an old backup, so wanted to delete the compressed .tar file.

But when I went on to delete it, I received the following error message:

The file name(s) would be too long for the destination folder

Apparently, the compressed file contained a JPG image file, which my Windows was unable to delete. Using the Skip option, I deleted all but this file. Now, why did this happen?

Under standard  Windows file naming system, the total name cannot, or path exceeds 259 characters. This includes the folder path, file name, and file extension. If it does, then when you try to delete it, you will receive this error.

For example, the maximum path on drive D is “D:\some 256-character path string” where “” represents the invisible terminating null character for the current system codepage.

Filename too long for destination folder

Now in my case, the full folder path was:

D:\ Site Backups\ Misc\ backup-4.7.2012_23-41-31_thegadget.tar\ backup-4.7.2012_23-41-31_thegadget\ backup-4.7.2012_23-41-31_thegadget\ homedirect\ 2\ public_html2\ wp-content2\ uploads\ 2011\ 08

And the file name was really long to – like Music-producer-…-and-video-games.jpg – as can be seen in the image.

I opened its location and tried to delete or rename the file. I was not even offered the option to do so. If you can rename it, fine – but I wasn’t offered this option.

This simple trick worked in my case, and I hope it helps you too.

Sometimes simply rebooting, running Check Disk or using third-party delete freeware are also known to help delete undeletable files and folders.

You can also use the freeware Long Path Fixer to fix Path Too Long errors in Windows.

If nothing helps, then you may want to have a look at this Microsoft thread where some advanced ways have been suggested using CMD and Robocopy.
