    Hey, I was using Netbeans and idk what the fuck happened but I clicked on something that caused Netbeans to freeze for a long time so I ended the task and then I get this folder that contains > lib/lib/lib/lib/lib/lib.... The problem is if I try to delete the folder it wont let me because the source path is too long. How the hell do I delete this?

    Spoiler for pic:

    "Netbeans Projects" is abnormally large for a folder name, try to rename it to something with 1 letter and try again. NTFS only allows 255 characters max for a file name (which includes the path) iirc.

    Will probably have to rename all folders to something with 1 letter so you can delete them

    I renamed 20 of those lib folders to the letter "d" but I still couldnt delete it. Is there some sort of a bat file or something that can do this process for me cause renaming all these files to "d" will take me ages.

    I'd start with the bigger folders before you get to lib, netbeans projects will save you 16 characters, where as lib only saves you 2
