There might be an obscure character in the name that the system thinks ends the
name, so it finds no match in that software.
A delete or rename with a wildcard (whatever the DOS for it is) might work;
though probably the folder is okay and you only have to rename it to something
legal.
linux for finding obscure characters might be
ls | od -c
(Cygwin would let you do that, if you install it.)
