Yes, but hot to remove only ending spaces added by mistake. Ending, but not middle. Substitute "69 Eyes " for "69 Eyes"

You can also try an action of the type "Format value" for ARTIST
Format string: $trim(%artist%)
which also removes leading and trailing space characters.
To replace several spaces in the middle, try an action of the type "Replace" for the field with
Search: \_\_
(which represents 2 space characters)
Replace with: \_
(a single space)
