Windows file names with space at end

Have a file or directory that you can’t delete because there is a space at the end of the file name? 

If you try and delete from windows you will get the error message
“Error Deleting File or Folder”
“Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.”

To manipulate these files you need to address their absolute path with the prefix of “\\?\”

To do this you need to access these files from the command line. 
Start -> Run -> CMD
del “\\?\c:\dir\filename ”

Make sure to include the quotes in above command.
