Need help deleting file with exceedingly long filename

[mrkent27]

What I’m trying to do

Hi all, I’m noticing some slowdown in my quickswitcher when I use long titles for my notes or when looking for an existing note due to a file in my vault that has an exceedingly long title (> 300 chars). I’m not sure how this file was even created, but when I try to open it, it fails.

Things I have tried

I’ve tried using scripts or command line commands to delete the file, but I can’t get it to show up on any file system. I’ve tried moving my vault around but the file seems to stick around. Any ideas on how to delete it or remove it from my vault?

renamed title as this has nothing to do with obsidian quickswitcher

command line effort would be best – maybe ask a robot how to delete the file

base64 is a type of image file btw not suited for obsidian

Turns out this was due to uncreated links in one of my files. I used ripgrep to find the offending file and removed the links. This fixed my issue.
