I just tried to mirror a drive to a brand new drive, and I got a bunch of these errors. There's a space at the end of some of my folders.

Is there any way to tell FreeFileSync to get rid of these?

ALSO - I have used FFS in the past years to sync this same drive to other drives, and I have never gotten this error before. Why does it complain about this now when these spaces have been there since they were created?

What version of FFS?

10.23 said:
Don't allow creating folder names ending with space or dot
That's on the creation end.
Not sure what happens if the space is on the source end?
