The exception here is that it's filename ended with a space. Filename

explorer.exe gives the following message when the action is to delete it:
Impossible de supprimer fichier: impossible de lire à partir du fichier
ou de la disquette source
This can be translated as:
Impossible to delete file: Impossible to read from file or from diskette
source
After a Google search I did the following (resulting messages are
translated):
del "25 The "
del "\\.\c:\prob\25 The "
Impossible to find ... 25 The

The file created here is "25 The" not "25 The ".
From my humble opinion a direct intervention in NTFS is the only way to
go.
But I don't know how.
Someone can help me ?
Thank you in advance.
Some of the things you've tried, are described here.

NTFS stores file names in Unicode. Perhaps the
file name is not exactly "25 The " as you expect ?
Could it be, that a non-printable character is also
in the file name ? That might be the problem, rather
than the space character at the end of the name.
