It turns out that the Recycle Bin has a shorter length limitation than the Windows kernel limit. I couldn't find anything with 255 characters, so I kept nibbling down until I jumped down to 100 question marks and came up with one folder, which I've renamed to something much shorter. I should have tried deleting the backup first, but I'll know soon enough if that was it, when I next delete \mydocs-BU\.

The long name, incidentally, came from a test in which I'd used IE to save a client's original home page to disk, and it named the folder for the original home page title... probably 150 characters long. ;)

I'd never noticed the folder name because the display was truncated and buried in a project subfolder.
