Are you trying to store your data in the file path?
Please read the Windows manual on file path limitations.

May 'the Google' be with you!

I have to remove too long path created by some scripts of our project... I've just taken an example to try it out. Please don't validate the path given in the example and that is not the data as you assumed...
I did search in google but couldn't find the exact solution..
just let me know the solution if you have any solution..
