Originally you filed a bug report.  
You see that this function has already been clarified to be no bug.  
MP3tag has little influence on the features of other programs.

> Hi, I have updated to 3.19 64bit, coming from 2.99a. One of my mp3 folder path is "d:\mp3\verschiebene a-z\ top xxx\top100\2023.02.27". The " top xxx" has a space in front to get it on top in explorer. After renaming all files in 2023.02.27, this folder is empty, the result was created in a new path ...\top100\2023-02 without space. I thought it is deleted and have tried it again, but with the errormessage I found the bug: [Screenshot 2023-03-05 165830] It is the same in 32bit. sat24
