You cannot delete or rename a folder with a space on the end of the name.

You'll get the continual "Illegal Characters in Path" error message over and over again.

Fortress version 1.0.4 (15848)

I wasn't able to reproduce this.

What is the name of your folder?

I named it after a domain name, so it would be something like my-domain.com.

Also, there's a good chance it could be a line break and not a space, I'm honestly not exactly sure because I copied the text for the folder name from a webpage, specifically a hyperlink on that webpage.

I tried spaces and hyphens -- those are fine -- if there's a line break, that may be the problem. I'll need to check with the developers to see if there's a way to fix this via a SQL query.
