I did a robocopy of a Vista hard drive to back it up. Vista has those new things junctions or symbolic links - whaterver they are. Anyway, when I did the robocopy I wound up with directories like c:\Users\username\Appication Data\Application Data\Application Data\.... That is, the application data folder repeats creating a huge tree of application datas within application datas. I'd like to prune off all the excess application datas but deleting with normal windows commands fails to delete them because the path name is so long. I've tried a regular delete which would put them in the recycle bin and a shift delete which should axe them without recycling. In the past I've been able to delete corrupt directories with RD /S but even that won't work. I'd appreciate any suggestions you have on how to get rid of these excess directories.
