Sometimes you encounter very long paths for some files and you realize that you can't open or rename or delete them anymore.
One simple way to rename them would be via CMD.
1. Open Command window (either search it in Start Menu, or go to Start - Run - cmd).
2. Type: ren "ENTIRE PATH OF THE FILE.extension" NEWNAME.extension
3. Press enter.
4. You can also rename a folder by opening CMD in the folder that contains the one you want renamed, and type this command: ren "D:\New\Looong loooong folder name" Short
eg.
D:\This is a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong path\This is a very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong path\This file has a very very very very very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong name.txt
The path above has a length of more than 255 characters and thus the file cannot be opened, renamed or deleted.
In CMD type:
rename "D:\This is a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong path\This is a very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong path\This file has a very very very very very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong name.txt" Short.txt
Normally there is no need for Administrator privileges (assuming you have rights to edit in that folder).

First things first, an alternative to the above would be to open the path in WinRAR and rename the files and folders from there in order to delete the file for example.
This one I tested, but there might be other programs that bypass the Windows limitation.
I'm not gonna start a new topic for this.
There are ways to enable long paths in Windows.
Both the methods below might require you to be an administrator or you could ask someone with administrator privileges that can access the following.
Using Group Policy Editor
1. Open Start - Run and type gpedit.msc then press Enter (or simply search for Edit Group Policy in the Start Menu)
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Filesystem
3. On the right side find Enable Win32 long paths and double click it
4. Switch it to Enabled and click OK to confirm
Using Powershell
1. Open Start and search for Windows Powershell, right click it and select Run as Administrator
2. At the cursor, enter the following command and press Enter:
| New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem" -Name "LongPathsEnabled" -Value 1 -PropertyType DWORD -Force |
3. You should receive a confirmation message like this:
LongPathsEnabled : 1
PSPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
PSChildName : FileSystem
PSDrive : HKLM
PSProvider : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry |
