It seems some software had a bug and created a endless path of folders like:

folderA/folderB/folderC/folderA/folderB/folderC...

I cannot delete it because Windows says that the path is too long.

How can I delete them?

Actually the solution that worked for me was this one: http://serverfault.com/questions/667062/removing-an-apparently-infinitely-recursive-folder/667198#667198 – chelder Oct 17 '15 at 21:08
But as I'm in Windows 7, the code changed to: RecursiveDelete(new DirectoryInfo("D:\\folderX\\folderY\\folder_to_delete")); – chelder Oct 17 '15 at 21:13
