Can't delete files with long filenames / deep paths

[XFoxPrower]

Is there a workaround for errors deleting files? For files that are either long themselves or part of a long path, Vitashell, OneMenu, and some FTP programs all fail to handle requests to delete. For individual undeletable files, I can at least move the folder but not the file. Is it a filesystem driver issue?

What about when using a file browser directly on the PS3, like Irisman file browser?
edit: sorry I missed the Vita part

The system in question is a vita.

If you are deleting the vpk files after installing then just use vitashell to delete the vpk.

It's error 0x80010058. I found a workaround: In Vitashell, Move the folder to the root and then you're able to delete it. I also noticed that Eleven MPV (mp3 player) can't play mp3s that are nested 5 or so directories deep. I'm guessing EXFAT support is wonky or YAMT / USBMC (I have YAMT) have issues.

You can try storagemgr if yamt give you problem.

Would you recommend one over the other? How easy is it to switch? I don't wanna get locked out as I have no internet to re-Hen. But if I can get my PSVSD installed, I wanna choose right.

Explain your isuse with yamt.

Beats me. I only assume this could be a filesystem issue as every file manager I know had the problem. I don't know a thing about YAMT other than it's what my Vita came configured with.

YAMT is a mounting tool, there are only two different files manager , Vitashell and molecular shell.

OneMenu has a filemanager too. Sometimes I have better luck with that one when deleting folders, but it takes forever, deleting files 1 by 1.

Stick with Vitashell.

Do you have this issue with YAMT?

Have you tried using Long Path Tool? I have been using it for months now for deleting files with long names or long path. It has made my life easier.

Nope. Never heard of it and never saw it in the Vita Homebrew Database either. Doesn't seem to be an issue on PC, and as I don't have a PC, I had to improvise with my Vita. To answer others, I'm using YAMT Full. I also use OneMenu's file manager as a backup when Vitashell crashes and can't boot (clear the recent folder, etc).

Files with longpath are too irritating. I use tool for it, LongPath Tool.

 

[johndavis78]

Try using Long Path Tool. In my case, it has worked like magic.

After going through all these comments, I installed Long Path Tool and it has surely helped me.
