See if the command line utility “detox” removes it. I use it in a bash file that tidies everything up for me before I do my daily backup.
Go to the directory you want to clean up and type:
detox *
If you don’t want to clean up everything, you can limit it. For example, if I only want to clean up PDF files, I’d do:
detox *.pdf
Detox replaces all the ugly characters with underscores. I personally hate underscores for most everything and use dashes instead. So after detox runs I also run:
rename ‘y/_/-/’ *
Then, because I want every file named only with lowercase letters, I also run:
rename ‘y/A-Z/a-z/’ *
(edit to remove duplicate info)
I always mute and go off to do something else (meaning, I’m not watching, either). One of my worst hells was when I had to take care of my MIL for 2 months last year and while she watches YouTube non-stop, she does it with all the ads. I hadn’t realized how bad the ads there actually are these days. I almost didn’t make it.
