The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Sync Dir->Del Left->
Error Message: The Target Name length (269) is more than 259 Characters!

Deleting in "normal" Total Commander Window works.

You cannot delete a filename >259 characters to the recycle bin (Windows cannot handle this)

Press Shift key while using Sync Dir->Del Left to delete directly without recycle bin.

Thank you, this works. Maybe it is a good idea to give this hint in the error message?
