hidden/temporary files

I have Windows 7. I have an old folder I can't erase because it contains some old temporary internet files whose names are too long. Can't rename with command prompt, and tried Ant Renamer, but it doesn't show the files to add. Any way to do it? Total newbie here :-)

Thanks in advance!

Do you see these files/folders in Windows Explorer?
If not, you can, in the Explorer options, ask to see hidden files and even system protected files, they should appear and then be addable to Ant Renamer.
But I am not sure it will be able to handle them either. I think I used the syntax that has a 260-character limit rather than the path syntax allowing longer names.
