Delete should support Unicode file names

Currently, long file names are not supported by delete (nor, as a result, by synchronize dirs). Perhaps DeleteFileW API function could be used to resolve this - at least on local drives.

Are you trying to delete file to recycle bin?
Try to delete file permanently (using Shift+Del) - TC supports it. But Windows recycle bin doesn't support such long names so it is not a TC fault.

E.g. I have file:
F:\TEMP\0000000000000000000000000000000100000000000000020000000000000003000000000000000400000000000000050000000000000006000000000000000700000000000000080000000000000009000000000000000A000000000000000B000000000000000C000000000000000D000000000000000E0123456789ABCD
I can't delete it using Del, but I can delete it using Shift+Del. :wink:

Yes indeed - TC 7.55 now shows a warning about a long name, but there was no time to add a new translation with an explanation that the recycle bin doesn't support it...

Correct, my mistake.

Thanks and best regards
