[users at bb.net] Detailed log of RemoveDirectory step's failure?

[Vasily]

Hi all,

One of potential problems with RemoveDirectory on Windows is that it uses
ANSI version of Win32 API which cannot deal with too long names (more than
MAXPATH, which, I believe, is about 260 characters), so you might want to
check if the directory you're trying to remove has short enough name.

Thanks,
Vasily
