Can’t Delete Files in Windows Because “The source file names are larger than is supported by the file system” and How to Solve It


Hello Friends you have seen these kind of errors when you delete files from your shared location and don't know what to do here is the simple trick.

if you want to delete entire path rename all folder which are coming on the way to reach file with one character or number. This will allow you to delete.

If you want to delete specific file only and don't want to do any changes on folder structure its even simple map a drive on your computer and than File system will allow you rename file and delete.

*** Why this happens in Windows that's because Windows just support 256 characters for file path and if path goes beyond its difficult for  Windows.

Source:   IDC Worldwide File-Based Storage 2011-2015 Forecast:   Foundation Solutions for Content Delivery, Archiving and Big Data, doc #231910, December 2011   Using DDPEval.exe we can use to evaluate savings with Deduplication without even installing or enabling deduplication. Yes I am talking about Windows 2012 deduplication. How it works? 1. Segment data into small variable sized chunks 2. Identify and remove duplicate chunks 3. Replace duplicate copies of each chunk with a reference to a single copy 4. Compress Chunks. DFS and Deduplication: Data Deduplication works fine with Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.

DFS Replication uses Remote Differential Compression (RDC), not the chunks in the chunk store, for over-the-wire savings....
