path/filename too long
Posted: 06 Mar 2016, 21:15
Hello and thanks for the Testdisk software!
I am currently copying files from an exfat drive that lost power during file write operations. I am copying by manually listing and selecting files for copy. Occasionally I errantly select a directory that contains trashed fat data and I end up with a raft of files and directories that cannot be deleted. Windows mostly reports the file cannot be found. Other software reports the path, filename or both are too long. (Makes me wonder how those files get created!)
How does one get rid of these?
