If you have got yourself into a situation where you can’t delete a directory in Windows because the folder structure is too deep for Windows, you can use robocopy to save the day. Here’s a little snippet for wiping out those “path too long” directory trees:
mkdir tmp robocopy tmp target_too_long_for_windows_delete /s /mir rmdir tmp rmdir target_too_long_for_windows_delete
Hope this helps!
