Delete directory regardless of 260 char limit

Question

I\'m writing a simple script to delete USMT migration folders after a certain amount of days:

## Server List ##
$servers = \"Delorean\",\"Adelaide\",\"Brisba         


        

Answer 1

Just as CADII said in another answer: Robocopy is able to create paths longer than the limit of 260 characters. Robocopy is also able to delete such paths. You can just mirror some empty folder over your path containing too long names in case you want to delete it.

For example:

robocopy C:\temp\some_empty_dir E:\temp\dir_containing_very_deep_structures /MIR

Here's the Robocopy reference to know the parameters and various options.
