I have my RDNA library on my one drive but it is complaining that there are some files that have a space before its name.   I tried deleting the space but it said that the name was the same as it was.  How do I fix this issue then?

    for a small number of files:

    Replace the space with another character.

    Deselect the file

    Delete the new character

    Deselect the file

     

    If there are a lot of files I recommend:

    Perhaps the space is at the end. Have you checked that?

    It happened again but with a number of files too many for my little ADD brain to do manually.  I decided to bring google up and ask Google how to mass change file names.  I found a tip that if I press Control and F2 at the same time I can change all the file names while changing one.

    Computer been slow all day but I think I got most of them.  It is an issue for One Drive but this trick seems to help fix it.
