So how to fix filename too long in 2018?

All Operating Systems have set character limits for file names. The pre-set maximum characters for a filename are usually 256 but can exceed up to 260 characters depending on the OS. These errors pop up because you are trying to save, rename, copy, move or delete a file that breaches this limit. The file path is not part of the filename when you save the file at the first time. The OS will however consider the file path as part of the file name in later execution commands. When you execute a file that sits in a folder with a very long file path that exceeds the limit, then you will get the ‘File Path Too Long’ errors.

‘Filename Too Long’ Error Messages

These file management error messages are mostly straightforward as to what is causing them. For instance, you may get either of the following error messages when you try to delete, copy, rename, unlock, move or open incredibly long files and folders.
