AFAIR, the case is that NTFS supports long file paths very well, and Windows has APIs to deal with long paths, but a lot of software (Windows Explorer inexplicably being one of them) uses old APIs that choke on paths over 260 chars. `rimraf` solves the issue of deleting such files and it's one of the must-have tools when doing node dev on windows, like `grep` etc
