Hi team,

I'm trying to delete the content of specific cache location in my application but it's always failing.

Command : Remove-Item "E:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\tomcat\work\Catalina\*" -Recurse -Force

Error :

Remove-Item : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less
than 248 characters.

Copying Specific Files from a directory.

You can do it with a 2 step process

First use the XCOPY command with the /T parameter. This will copy the folder structure, but no files.

ie

xcopy c:\user\...\documents\ d:\ /t

Then you can copy just the file(s) you want to the specific location using fully qualified "copy" (or xcopy) commands

 

BAT File That Deletes Files Below Specific Size

I am wondering how to make a bat file that can delete all files below a certain size (in this case 10kb). I have a folder on my server that has game screenshots in it (taken by Punkbuster) and need to sort out the good shots from the bad, and figure this is easier than manually deleting thousands of files.. The "bad" shots (blanks with failed renders) range in size from 4kb-8kb, so the bat file can delete anything lower than 10kb with no issues. Is this possible, and if so how do I make one? Thanks for your help.


*EDIT*
I have found a bat file that can delete specific types/sizes, but it only allows you to delete file sizes of 0kb (empty text documents and such), and replacing the "0" with "10" or any other number hasn't worked for me so far.

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

• Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
  x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
• Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
• Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
• Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
  NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
