    Doe anyone know of a utility that can remove invalid files. These tend to accumulate in temporary internet files folder.

    The problem is windows will not let you delete files if the filename w/ path exceeds 256 characters. Delete, rename, and cut options are removed, not even just greyed out. You can remove them with the cmd line utility, but this becomes a long annoying process.

    The only utility I can find is DelinvFile. Unfortunately the f***tard who created it made it as un user friendly as possible. On top of that he wants to charge $20 for this piece of junk. You can scan folders for invalid files, but cannot delete the results. So you must go through all files which are sorted by name and cannot be resorted by any other attribute. Heres the best part. When you delete or rename a file it goes all the way back to the top of the list so you have to start searching through each entry from the start and cannot select multiple entries. Also you must click to select it from the list and then hit the delete button in the app instead of just hitting Delete on your keyboard. Another long annoying process.

    There has to be something out there that can get rid of these files more easily.
