NTFS3g for Linux will happily remove that. We had the same on one of our fileservers. Explorer would hang if you would try to delete the file, popped in a livecd and it deleted it no fuss.

The subst command can map a folder to a drive, which might reduce the number of characters.

Carbon dioxide posted:Delete it from Linux. A live cd/usb, or if you're on windows 10 you can just use the Linux Subsystem for Windows to do so. Just use dir /X and delete the file using 8.3 filename that command gives you. I guess I'm not really sure if that works because I was able to use it just now to *make* a directory that Explorer and mkdir were refusing to create, but Explorer happily deleted it anyway. This is Windows 10.

You could use Window's long/weird path name syntax:code:AIUI the \\?\ stops Windows from interpreting the file name in any way, and makes the OS throw the file straight to the file system layer. See Cause 6. It works with long file names as well ones with invalid characters.

You should be able to rename it using wildmarks - for example: rename *.mkv 1.mkv (of course if it's the only mkv file in the dir)

Speaking of filesystems, Explorer refuses to move one of my work folders because "the path is too long". Hmm what could possibly be too long-quote:C:\Work\Client1\Training\workspace\webapp-workspace\src\main\webapp\app\flat\node_modules\bower-installer\node_modules\bower\node_modules\bower-registry-client\node_modules\request\node_modules\combined-stream\node_modules\delayed-stream\test\integration Oh.

 (The Word one says "There's a serious disk error in that file"). Filesystems are fun. As for long paths, the Unicode windows API handles them just fine, it's just UI programs that are poo poo. I can't believe loving Explorer still trips on that.

Within the last year, I ran into a commercial encryption API that used a fixed length buffer when you encrypted a file. So if the path you passed was longer than 160 chars, it crashed. The official workaround was to "move it to a directory with a shorter path." Terrifying.

Hargrimm posted:This happened with a poorly-programmed downloader I was using years ago. I have a zip file named Episode 12 - Foo_01_02_03_04... and so on. The filename is so long I have been completely unable to find any way of deleting, renaming, or moving it through windows or any application. It's been camping in my Downloads folder since 2010. I've had similar issue in the past with long file names or invalid file names (created by a Linux OS). Try using robocopy to mirror an empty directory on top of directory that contains the file. You'll need to use the /MIR or /PURGE option. You'll want everything else important out of that directory first before you do this... bigmandan fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Feb 28, 2017 |

SupSuper posted:I imagine Explorer is stuck with their 9x era APIs to not risk collapsing the house of cards of shell extensions and third-party software full of hacks and undocumented assumptions that sits on top of it. This is (or was) literally true: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2004/06/13/how-microsoft-lost-the-api-war/ My favorite part is the sim city exception in Windows. (For anyone who doesn't read the article, the original DOS Sim City would read certain memory after freeing it, which worked in DOS, but in Windows the OS would see the memory is free and do something else with it, causing Sim City to crash. So the Windows team added special handling to the memory allocator to detect when Sim City was running and avoid reclaiming that particular memory after it was freed.)

I'm still always surprised when I remember that most unixes have a max path length of 4096 characters. Not that I've ever run into it, but that seems like the sort of thing we should be able to handle better nowadays, you know? Like is it really gonna slow things down so much if we put paths on the heap?

The very first time I ever tried to implement sorting, I made an array of data to be sorted, and then an array of indexes of that data, and I tried to sort the indexes based on the data that they pointed to. I greatly confused myself, then I confused the teacher when I tried to explain what I was doing, then I reimplemented the sort properly in much less space and like half an hour. Anyway, your sordid story kind of reminds me of that -- a high-school-age kid learning about manipulating arrays for the first time and not really understanding what they were doing.
