I have a file con. wire 6 that shows up in explorer but when I try to rename I get a message saying can't access file or invalid lenth. How do I rename or at least delete it as it prevents directory copies.

In windows explorer, another option is to right-click on the file and then normal-click on rename. That shouls highlight it and then you should be able to change the file name to "filename.ext" without any spaces.

I tried this as well and although it appears to want ot work at the tail end it can't find the file to rename.
