when renaming title - year\title please enter dummy year or Win can't read folder

[filmgal]

When the "year" element is used in the file naming rules (as in "title - year\title") and Streamfab cannot find the year, please enter 0000 or ignore the year rule entirely (including any preceding separator). The reason for this is that Windows 11 cannot move/delete/rename folders ending with a space (and possibly a hyphen but I'm not sure about that).

Explanation:
My naming rule for movies is:

title - year\title.mp4

But when Streamfab can't find the year, I get the following:

title - \title.mp4

After hours of research in trying to remove folders, I finally discovered the problem.
If anyone else is having this issue, you can only remove those folders using the following in command prompt:

D:\>rmdir "\\?\D:\Steamfab\Amazon\Gray Matters - "

where D is your drive and the last element is the name of the folder that can't be deleted.

It may not be possible, I use title(year), and if year is empty I just get title().

Or for your use, it may be better to use:
title\title(year), or maybe title year\title(year)

Stan001, I forgot to thank you for replying. I've switched to title (year) as you suggested. Thanks!
