Nah, there definitely is such a thing.  I created a loop using the Xcopy command in a batchfile accidentally, created a directory structure well past the 255 character limit, then kaflooey.  There isn't an application yet which I can't find a way to break! Hah! Once I cut it up by using the Subst command, I was able to delete everything bit by bit. Sam John Tolmachoff (Lists) wrote: To the best of my knowledge, there is not such thing. However, there is a 255 character limit in a path. Maybe that is what you are up against.

I managed to create a directory structure too deep for Windows 2K Server to handle, I need to figure out how to delete it, I had a batch file go haywire and well, I can see the folders but its too deep a structure for Windows to handle and it won't let me delete anything... Any suggestions?
