Premiere project file cannot delete!

[Guest]

Hello

I cannot delete a premiere project file.

I receive this message: "The file 'name of the file' is too large for the destination file system."

Can someone help?

Try emptying your recycle bin then try again to delete the project.

[Guest]

Recycle bin has nothing to do with the file. It is already empty after all.

The strange thing is that it asks me for administrator permission to delete it...

Are any networks involved here?  Premiere Pro tends to function best on a Windows machine with My Documents left alone and using only internally installed drives.

[Guest]

Only my internet, but I don’t think it influence the file. I had other projects too, and I could delete it normal!

[excited_Genie16B8]

OK.  Have you tried restarting the computer?

[Guest]

Yes

Renaming the file?

[Guest]

I can't rename it.

This is sounding much more like a Windows issue than a Premiere Pro issue.  Might want to take to the MS forums.

Thank you

[excited_Genie16B8]

That's a new one.

Exactly!

Thank you mate, it worked for me also.

Thank you millions times for recommending that software. It worked. Thank you so much. ❤❤ I don't know who you are. But you did a great help for me. This app could do it which Microsoft agents couldn't do.

I'm having the same problem, I tried the programs suggested but it still didn't work. Please help.
