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.
