Hi All,

When you are trying to delete a a file
that has a very long file & path name ,
for the cmd line, powershell, your unlink
command and it just wont delete, but you
can delete with Windows Explorer, here is
what is going on.

Windows had two maximum file & path names.
The default is called "MAX_PATH" and it is
260 characters long. Del
