I don't even know if I am in the right forum, but I hope that someone out there in cyber world will be able to help me on this.
I have a PDF document that I downloaded, unfortunately, I forgot to rename the document and it saved under the source path which is about a mile long. Now, I can't open it, delete it or move it. I just want it to go away at this point, but I am unable to comply with the error suggestion.
The error report reads:
Source Path Too Long
The source file name(s) are larger than is supported by the file system. Try moving to a location which has a shorter path name, or try renaming to shorter name(s) before attempting this operation.
I can't even figure out how I am supposed to rename the dang thing. Please help, this is just irritating the snot out of me.
thanks,
F.
