Your faith in Windows is too high. :-)<br />
Your comment is true when creating a new folder in Windows - but you can use google and see the problem exists, and has existed for some time. <br />
<br />
This problem frequently arises when moving folders from a Mac OS - in which folders with trailing spaces move over fine and actually can be partially utilized. <br />
<br />
But they cause problems when trying to delete them, or when Mac OS client users navigate to the folder on a Windows server. <br />
<br />
Therefore, I need to find them somehow, preferably without going one-by-one on 700GB worth of data.

Good to know something new about MS :).

I only wish I could think of some route to find these folders. I have a feeling deep down that I will have to search for them manually through Explorer or something. <br />
Thanks!

Hello Experts, <br />
<br />
I recently migrated 700 GB worth of Mac data to a Windows storage server. Any good ideas on how I can find all the folders with traling spaces??? I need to fix these, but I dont want to manually go through so much data.<br />
<br />
ex: &quot;e:\FolderName &nbsp;\filename.doc<br />
<br />
Thanks for your time!!
