Windows 7 – How to Delete Infinitely Repeating Folders

windows 7

Due to a very strange issue with Eclipse ive ended up with a folder in a folder that seems to goes on forever. So on my C drive I have

C:\foldername\foldername\foldername\foldername\foldername etc.

When I try and delete (or shift delete) the folder I get the message:
'The source file name(s) are larger than is supported by the file system. Try moving to a location which has a shorter path name, or try renaming to shorter name(s) before attempting this operation.'

How can I get rid of it?
