The compression cannot be performed because the path to the file or directory….. is too long.
The most appearing reason is show below in a screenshot.
Reasons why it happen:
- File has too long address.
- File has too long name or one of them have too long name/s.
- File size is too long (This reason for when you use the method Right+Click ----> Send To --> Compressed File)
- You have recently changed the language for non-unicode programs" in Control panel - Regional and Language options.
Solution:
- Create a shortcut of your desired file or folder on desktop and compress this file or folder again (This is the easiest solution to solve this problem).
- Rename your target file or folder.
- Create a new folder on desktop then copy your desired file or folder in this new folder
- Change the location of you target file or folder.
