System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path.

The file is present. Full path length is 263 characters. Reducing the file path to 207 characters works around the issue, however this is not possible in all cases.

You can work around this by prepending \\?\ to the path:

The maximum path of 32,767 characters is approximate, because the "\\?\" prefix may be expanded to a longer string by the system at run time, and this expansion applies to the total length.
