From: Joni on 6 Dec 2009 21:25 I backed up a file on my hard drive to my external drive and when I tried to delete it from the external drive I got a message that said contains items that are too long for the recycle bin Then I get message Cannot delete and it gives the name of the folder then says Access denied . I see an item with a ~ and I read something about a tilde and names that are too long so I can't delete Charts ~ (these charts are from a genealogy program on my conputer) How can I remove this from my External Drive. I read somewhere in the MSDN Library re short names and long names and get short name path but I really have trouble following all those instructions. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247(VS.85).aspx Can you help me remove the backup. Thanks
