Windows 10: Couldn't access or rename a file with blank space before and after file name

I have downloaded a file and it got a blank space before and after the file name When I press rename i can see the spaces. That file couldn't be accessed to rename or moved. I have used Bulk Name Utility and Freecommander, still couldn't rename the file.What could be the possible solution ?Thanks in advance/

Can't open or rename file (name is too long) WTF?

Solved!!!!!

Use 7zip.

open the 7zip file manager, go to the folder of the long name file, select the file, right click on it and select "rename".
erase some of the words of the file and press enter.

regards!!!!!

Thread necro...

When in doubt, use CMD.

1. Run CMD
2. Use CD <path> to navigate to the directory where the file exists.
3. Use the DIR command to get the list of files. DIR will likely abbreviate the ridiculously long named file with NAME~1.
4. Use the MOVE <source> <destination> to give the file a new name. For example: move "NAME~1" "MyShortName"
5. ...
6. PROFIT!

CMD is always the answer. *Wink
