This is a Windows* OS/file system issue.The cause is directory paths on the drive is longer than 255 characters (including spaces).There's a lot of additional softwares which can fix this problem like Long Path Tool.

PathTooDeep.com

Long Path Tool can simplify and probably end your problems in unlocking, managing and renaming files that appear to have a long filename.

I hope that it will help you!

Good luck!

Cheers!
