Hi....anybody here who has been able to download a file that becomes unreadable, un deletable due to long names or characters?

It's usually those very big MKV files like an anime all episode file or the 1080p/720p MKV movie packs.

Please post any solutions on how you dealt with it?

From my research it was stated that such files were generated from either a Mac or Linux OS hence the names, but becomes an unreadble/ undeletable file in windows.

Inputs greatly appreciated.

I use ExplorerXP to rename files by group, not sure if that works for these LFN

I use a free renaming utility I downloaded from http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/
