Trying to delete many many many levels of AppData folders ...
I have a folder on my backup drive (drive F).. which is actually my users folder from my previous pc install (Windows7).
The path is F:\SsdBackup\Users\Kevin\AppData\Local .. and that is all I can see. But I know that there are probably 20 more appdata folders levels down from there .. ie Windows 7 or some program created them and I cannot delete them no matter what I try.
I cannot see the folders .. but I know they are there .. as Windows tries to delete them but complains that the path is too long.
Is there anyway to delete them .. ? Don't tell me Linux .. as I cannot even boot from a USB drive or Dvd as my computer will not allow any option other than my boot hard drive with my OS on it. I really loved the old Bios computers not this new ***** crap now.
I have in the past just formatted the drive .. but I don't want to do that as that is my backup drive.
Any suggestions as to how to delete the files .. as Windows cannot see them as the path is too long. There are several GB's there.
Thanks ...
Kevin
