Delete a PDF file with a name that is too long

New Here ,

Hello to the community,
I downloaded a PDF file with a name that was too long. As a result, I can't manipulate (delete, rename, compress, move, etc.) this file. Would you have a solution for deleting it? Thanks in advance.

Hi @Carine31177475r2rb 

 

Hope you are doing well.

When you say that you have downloaded a file, is it an Outlook attachment, or it's downloaded from the web? Also, from where you have been trying to delete?

There's likely a chance that the file you have downloaded is restricted. Its security prevents you from making changes like editing, renaming, or compressing.

Please check the document properties like Open document>Right click>Document Properties>Security>Document restriction summary and the settings.

 

Thanks,

Akanchha
