Rename initial understanding

what's up my name is technobo here for troubleshoot and welcome back to another quick video in today's video i'll show you how to rename files with file names that are way too long basically if i pull over a file browser here you can see a file here and if i copy the name you'll see exactly just how long the file name is it's way too long and if i try to rename it in windows explorer you can see nothing happens now if you delete this file you won't be able to recover it from the recycle bin as far as i understand and a couple of other issues anyways how do we go ahead and rename this file when we can't rename it in windows well the absolute simplest way is to use a program like winrar or 7-zip if you need 7-zip i've linked to it down in the description below anyways i'll go ahead and open up the 7zip file manager all you have to do is navigate across to the same folder as you are inside of your file browser here so i'll paste it at the top hit enter and now we're in the file i'll expand the name and as you can see it's far too long i'll simply right click the file followed by rename or select it and hit f2 and all you have to do is enter another name here of course you'll need to keep the file extension.png.exe whatever it is as it won't be kept automatically you'll be able to write over it so i'll type in say screenshot.png and hit enter now the file's been successfully renamed and i can go ahead and open it up use it as per usual and it shouldn't cause issues with any programs trying to use it because the file name is now fixed i know that with my backup software it simply says parameters too long parameter exceeds maximum length and then it skips this file entirely when i may need it backed up so with a simple method you're able to fix it but anyways that's about it for this quick video thank you all for watching my name has been techno behind the troubleshoot and i'll see you all next time ciao
