Maximum path length exceeded while trying to recover photos

This type of error occurs when you have created a lot of sub folders under a particular folder, generally before it was used as a technique to hide files in which the victim would be frustrated by keeping on opening folders. Try going inside the folders instead of specifying the path, Since the OS can locate the path as its length is too long for it to handle
