I installed some software and I think afterwards I was navigating through CLI and noticed that some directories or some files in some directories had single quotation marks around the names. They don’t appear in the GUI. How do I get rid of them? Do I have to use a recursive command to delete the quotation marks for the entire file system?

I’ve actually had this problem a few times in the past but cannot recall why they happen nor what the solution was.

    Command line in general, not just Linux.

    Forgetting to quoteblock spaces in Windows won’t be pleasant either (especially when Windows has a Sydtem directory called “Program Files”.
