It is not the space character. This is the ASCII Character ALT-255.

Drop to a Command Prompt and change to the directory which contains the
offending subdirectory and type:
DELTREE<space><alt>255<enter>
Or better yet, type
REN<space><ALT>255 offender
The directory will now be called "offender" and you can now browse its
contents using Windows Explorer or the Command Window.
The ALT-255 key combination brings up the MS-DOS extended character set
character which appears as a blank space, however it is not actually the
character inserted when you press the Space-Bar. Windows has never been
able to browse this directory ever since at least Windows 3.0, but
MS-DOS has, if you know how. We used this trick in high-school a lot.
