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.

    Somewhat surprisingly the fediverse has been much kinder for Linux learners than my experience everywhere else online the last decade :)
