I noticed the other day when I went to uninstall Appian 16.1 from one of our servers to start over fresh that there is a file with a path that is too long to be deleted from our Microsoft 2012 server. My coworker even tried deleting it from an administrative command prompt and it still received the path is too long error message. The error even occurs if you try to copy the appian folder (i.e. tring to take a full backup of the appian folder). The path being:

E:\\appian\\_admin\\_scripts\\configure\\gradle\\wrapper\\dists\\gradle-2.9-all\\1aw2ic01pldw5fkvoq6t1fsz4\\gradle-2.9\\src\\dependency-management\\org\\gradle\\api\\internal\\artifacts\\ivyservice\\moduleconverter\\dependencies\\DefaultDependenciesToModuleDescriptorConverter.java

Are you able to rename the file/folders to shorten the length? If not can you move some of the path to a different location and delete from there (ex. Move ivyservice/moduleconverter...to c:/)?

I moved one of the folders up in the path and was able to delete. Its more the copying that I'm worried about.
