CAn some help? cannot delete files as 'names too long for filesystem'

Hey, how on earth can i delete some files that have stuck themselves
onto my desktop?

my issues started when i ran the shell:links command in the start run
bar and it moved my music and pictures folders to stupidly long and deep
'loops' of music > links > music > links etc... some going on for 78
folders!

as such, i haven't been able to delete them. i've tried everything i
can think of, fan CHKDSK /f /r but everything's fine, tried forcebly
deleting them with numerous applications but to no avail, and the final
straw now is that i somehow got some on my dektop and they won't budge!

You should make a folder called c:\d0od and move the files there to shorten
the path name. I mean go move the file and not the folder, if you want to
save the files.

Then you should be able to go to the very top folder and delete the top
folder that should delete all sub folders.

You may also have to delete one folder at a time starting from the bottom
working back to the top deleting each folder as you go up, until you get to
a point that the path is not too long.Yeah, it sucks but what else are you
going to do.

Someone else is going to have to help you with that one.
