Handling file/folder of too long path

Hello

I'm getting an error while working with the FS - "The path is too long
after being fully qualified.  Make sure path is less than 260
characters".

I'm looking for a working sample or procedure to handle this issue. The
file might be indeed too long so I have to find a way to handle it.

Thanks in advance!

You can convert the file to it's short name and use that.
