TF400889 Long path error received from TFS

Question

Can someone please help me out with this? I tried using long path tool but they want me to pay in order to delete the folder. However I cant find the file the system is complaining about. I went to the folder

C:\Users\Casey\Desktop\Workspace\LegalHoldings\Sprints\Sprint5\Expunctions\LegalHoldings.Expunctions.Service.External\ServiceReferences\FillingReviewMDEService\LegalHoldings.Expunctions.Service.External.FilingReviewMDEService.GetFeesCalculationsResponse.datasource

This file:

FilingReviewMDEService.GetFeesCalculationsResponse.datasource

Does not exist in the folder?!?!?!

I don't know what to do, I have been reading a lot of work-arounds online however most people suggest using long path tool but I remember having this issue in the past but I cant remember how I solved. I believed it was something to do with the Developer Command prompt and resetting some paths.

All help would be greatly appreciated

In VS/TFS 2012, I found this helpful:

[Open TFS Explorer] -> [Right click the root folder] -> Advanced->'Remove Mapping...'

Then, you can change the path:
