How do I use Exchange Power Shell to remove spaces from the aliases of mail enabled public folders?

The properties on 'Made Up Name' have invalid data. If you click OK, default values will be used instead and will be saved if you do not change them before hitting Apply or OK on the property page. If you click cancel, the object will be displayed read-only and corrupted values will be retained.
The following values have invalid data:
Alias.
I found an article on TechNet (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb851499.aspx) that describes how to remove spaces from mailbox aliases but what command would I use to do the same thing for public folders?

For anyone interested here is the answer:
Get-PublicFolder -identity "\" -Recurse -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-MailPublicFolder | Where {$_.Alias -like "* *"} | ForEach-Object {Set-MailPublicFolder $_.identity -Alias:($_.Alias -Replace " ","")}
Get-PublicFolder -identity "\" -Recurse -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-MailPublicFolder | Where {$_.Alias -like "* *"} | ForEach-Object {Set-MailPublicFolder $_.identity -Alias:($_.Alias -Replace " ","")}
