Shorter filenames. Seriously. Windows has a limit to length of a filename, which includes the entire file path. If you have a file buried in many layers of folders, each folder name gets added to the entire filepath name (not sure of the correct teminology). The more folder names that get added, the less room you will have for the actual filename. Either you will have to shorten the file name or eliminate some folders from the filepath.
If you are just deleting some files that have too long a name, just rename them to something shorter, then drag them to the recycle bin.
