Thanks for the hint, but it doesn't change anything.

Error:

Neither does...

Try

void removeFileEx(string filename)
{
import std.file : remove;
return remove("\\?\" ~ filename);
}

Adding the prefix turns the filename into a fully qualified name and should
have for effect to remove the MAX_PATH (260 chars) limitation.
