[HOWTO] qBittorrent created a folder with a trailing space (solution)

Since the folder name contains a trailing space (i.e. "c:\qbt\test "), I couldn't remove it normally. I've found the solution and I'd like to share it.

For those too lazy to read the article, the primary two solutions offered for our case are: (1) use the DOS 8.3 filename in a command prompt window ("cmd.exe") or (2) apparently some commands will work with "\\?\" prepended to the path, e.g.:
Code: Select all
del "\\?\c:\path_to_file_that contains a trailing space.txt "

Can anybody shed some light on what I should do to prevent qBittorrent from doing this in the future?
I really appreciate what you did Jinx but am wondering if there would be a way to please outline the instructions in a more intuitive way? It's a bit too abstract for me to follow and the Microsoft article is massive and unclear.
