Created an empty mod with "/" in it's name, now it cannot be removed #2336

The problem:

I accidentally created an empty mod (instead of a separator like intended), with a forward slash in its name. Trying to remove it produces an error window as such:
"
Error
remove: failed to delete mod 'Skeleton ' directory
"
Even windows 11 "Could not find this item" as it is "No longer located in [MO2/mods directory]. Verify the item's location and try again"

To Reproduce:

  1. In MO2, create an empty mod. Call it: Skeleton / Physics/ Body Replacers
  2. The result is a mod at the bottom of the load order called "Skeleton "
  3. Attempt to remove mod
  4. Error pops up

Environment:

Mod Organizer Version 2.5.2
Windows 11 Home, Version 10.0.22631 Build 22631

Details:

  • Within the MO2 mods folder, a mod by the name of "Skeleton " can now be found, with subdirectories "Physics " and thereafter "Body Replacers". I WAS able to remove the subdirectories, but windows can not find "Skeleton ", despite it being displayed in the mods folder.
  • I use a sub separator MO2 plugin
