Windows XP/Vista Bug

So, I just wasted about half an hour trying to figure this bug out. A web search shows that I’m not unique in encountering this issue. So, I’m hoping that posted the solution here might lend a hand to some other poor soul who’s stuck in the same boat.

Problem: I had a directory that appeared in Windows Explorer and Command Prompt, but acted as if it didn’t exist. It would issue the following error messages: “Could not find this item… This is no longer located in PATH. Verify the item’s location and try again.”

Solution:

  • Run the Windows Command Prompt (CMD)
    • WinXP: Start → Run → cmd
    • WinVista: Start → Start Search → cmd
  • Navigate to the directory containing the problem file/directory
    • cd C:/path/to/directory/containing/problem/
  • Figure out the 8.3 file name
    • dir /x ⇒ somethin~1
  • Remove using the 8.3 name
    • del /s somethin~1
