Files not deleting on local system
Hi,
I am mirroring files & directories from an FTP server to a Windows 7 Pro machine. WinSCP Version is 5.7.5 (Build 5665)
I originally had an issue with windows not supporting a long remote file path. I managed to fix this by putting \\?\ in front of the local path in my script.
The problem I am facing now is that if a file is deleted from the FTP server, WinSCP cannot delete the local version.
Code below shows what I am currently using and the error that appears:

Below is what I get if I remove the \\?\:
I tried just using the del command in DOS and it worked fine with the original path.
Is there something that can be done to get around either this problem or the issue of long paths?
Thanks.
