Using the "Long Path Tool" any file can be deleted even the long file name. Try that and see if it works for you.

How do I delete a desktop folder when it says the file name is too long?

Highlight the folder, left click and press "rename." Make the name shorter, then press enter. You should be able to delete the folder then.
