The problem is directly related to the length of the file name, and you will have to use a special program to remove it. Fortunately, there is a free and easy to use one called "DelInvFile" (Delete Invalid File) available here: http://www.purgeie.com/delinv/dldel... That thing should take care of it for you no problem.
Resolve it...

If it's in a folder by itself and that folder isn't a Windows folder but is just a folder that you created try deleting the entire folder with the file inside of it. You could also try Unlocker which is Free at the link below.
