windows file system ,not able to delete the directory structure [closed]
I was running a Tibco process in Windows. It recursively created a directory structure like shown below:
E:AmanTIBPRO~1PROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesPROJEC~1ArchivesProjectDataArchives
Now I am not able to delete it. Can somebody help me delete this.

Create a drive using a folder of this path, so that your path will become short in new drive. Then delete the folder from new drive, it will be deleted from actual folder also.
To create a drive using folder
cd
subst J: "Path of the folder you want to delete"
subst /d J:
Not working : i 'm getting similar error even with this method.
