Windows System.IO.PathTooLongException file deleter
A file delete for handling windows System.IO.PathTooLongException which simply deletes the files which have a path greater than 260 characters. This is usually a problem when working with npm older than npm 3 which causes deep directory trees.
Running pathtoolong WILL delete files from your filesystem
This tool can be installed globally using:
npm i pathtoolong -g
And than, before publishing a website or suffering somehow from System.IO.PathTooLongException simply run in your cmd:
pathtoolong
In a directory to recursively search for problematic files and delete them.
Running this tool, you're hoping that the files stuck deep in he node_modules directory or any other long path location are not used and can be deleted.
