Prime Infrastructure 2.2 can't delete file name too long

[bkoch1]

I'm trying to delete older application backups in the CLI, and it says I can't because the filepath is too many characters.

Ex. prime/admin# delete disk://defaultRepo/prime-150916-0330__VER2.2.0.0.158_BKSZ126G_CPU16_MEM4G_RAM15G_SWAP15G_APP_CK2774132844.tar.gpg
                    ^
% param string too long detected at '^' marker.

So, how do I delete these files?

How can you use the LONG Path tool to delete the too long files in Prime 2.2

I have the same problem with you, cannot delete the too long backup data,  and I cannot find any "rename" or "mv" command to change the files name shorter....    how was your solve such issues?

[JASON BOYERS]

If you use the "root" command, after enabling it with "root_enable", you can go into the underlying Linux shell.  From there, go to the /localdisk directory.  Change to whichever directory the file is in, then do a "rm filename".  Just ran into the same issue, and this worked.

Hi Jason, Appreciated your help,  works for me too....

Long PathTool is a software that will let you easily delete, copy or rename long path files.

[JASON BOYERS]

Note that the "root" command has been changed to the "shell" command as of PI 3.0.

A couple of people have mentioned using the Long Path Tool. If there is a way that you know of to access the file structure within Prime remotely via Long Path Tool (or any other way,) please share those steps.  To my knowledge, it isn't possible, but would love to be wrong on this.
