Single quotation marks suddenly appear around file and directory names - eviltoast

I installed some software and I think afterwards I was navigating through CLI and noticed that some directories or some files in some directories had single quotation marks around the names. They don’t appear in the GUI. How do I get rid of them? Do I have to use a recursive command to delete the quotation marks for the entire file system?

I’ve actually had this problem a few times in the past but cannot recall why they happen nor what the solution was.

    Just paste it into the end of the file, save and close it, then run “source ~/.bashrc” in the terminal to force bash to read the new settings (or close the terminal and open it again).
