Iperius Long Path Eraser Free was designed to allow the deletion of file or folder paths that are too long and avoid potential errors.

Sometimes when you are copying and syncing folders and files with backup utilities such as Iperius Backup, sometimes the destination path ends up being too long for Windows to handle ( the maximum path length allowed by Windows Explorer is 255/260 characters). If the path is too long it can cause errors like; Error cannot delete file: cannot read from source file/disk, Path too long, Cannot delete file or folder The file name you specified is not valid or too long, Specify different file name, Cannot remove folder – the filename or extension is too long or File name too long for example.

Long Path Eraser (LPE) allows you to delete those files and folders that have paths that are too long which you cannot delete manually by automatically deleting the folder you have selected, including all its files and sub-folders, regardless of their path length (even if they are in a network folder).
