Hello!
I have files named Feh wallpaper (exactly with space in name) and I was trying to remove it but i don't have any file manager and I remove files by rm.
I was try rm -r feh_wallpaper and rm feh wallpaper and rm can't remove it

Yeah if it helps to know, you use a backslash before any characters that would otherwise be used by the command. In this case rm.
