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.

    And also I think those paths are properly escaped, so you can just copy them to the terminal with the quotes for use as a path.

    But I may be misremembering it so I would be happy if someone could confirm this.
