[RESOLVED] Deleting a folder that WIN 10 says Doesn't Exist

Okay, so somehow I goofed up...I created a folder (under Music in my Jukebox) with a song artist's name. I used MKDIR. It created it just fine (or so I thought). As I was just using it as a test, I went to delete it (and another folder I created below it). When attempting to delete it, Windows will not let me (says can't find the folder). I BELIEVE there is a space at the end of the Folder Name as when I click on it in explorer (twice) to highlight the name (as if to rename it), it appears to have a space at the end.

I have tried several methods suggested by google searches, but in all cases, it simply says it can't find the folder.

The Folder Name is Red Simpson, meaning there is at lease ONE space (the one between Red and Simpson), and there MAY be one after Simpson. Using the command window, when I was in the directory immediately above it, I typed "del Red Simpson" (without the quotes), and the response was:

could not find ........ \Music\Red

If I use quotes around "Red Simpson", I get:

could not find .....\Music\Red Simpson Also, when I sue quotes and add a space at the end "Red Simpson ", I also get

could not find .....\Music\Red Simpson

I realize this may not be a VB6 issue, but I CAUSED it using VB6...

Anyone else have/had this issue and found a resolution?
