i got same report few years ago. it seems to be bug in microsoft windows,

http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-file-management/20451-file-name-size-limit.html

currently, there are no settings for forcing smart cache to create shorter
paths, but smart cache itself should be able to delete long file names during
garbage collection when invoked with scache -gc switch

i am using smartcache on windows xp too and it doesnt seems to have problems with file deletions during -gc. If you want to delete pretty much everything just configure reference_age 1s in gc.cnf and run GC.
