If that doesn't work restart the computer in safe mode and try also go-- run --msconfig and turn off all programs that start up then once you start your computer with almost 0 programs runnign try to delete it it would help if you showed us the error message does it say it is in use? -- Steve0 |

'fileshredder' does not work. the application itself 'stops responding'. there are no error messages. after i press 'delete' or 'shift+delete', it doesnt even show a confirmation dialogue box. a "deleting" dialogue box appears, and the progress bar doesnt move ahead. -- akshatm |

Hi, akshatm.
In the Command Prompt window, use the Dir command with the /x parameter to show you the 8.3 filename. Then delete that filename. If it doesn't work, please post back exactly what you did and exactly (verbatim) any error message or other response that appeared. Also, please tell us the exact name of the problem file, including the extension - and the 8.3 filename. Also, what does the dir /a command tell you? RC -- R. C.

I faced the same problem, I studied it for a long time and how to use
all these commands, and then I simply bought Long Path Tool at the address LongPathTool DOT com and cleaned all unnecessary files.
