Certain folder names cannot be created in most operating systems due to reserved keywords. Common examples include "CON," "PRN," "AUX," "NUL," "COM1" through "COM9," and "LPT1" through "LPT9," which are reserved for system devices in Windows. Additionally, names that include special characters like slashes, backslashes, colons, asterisks, question marks, and others are also prohibited. Lastly, folders cannot have names that are empty or contain only whitespace.

If it gives you an error that the folder cannot be deleted because it is not empty, delete the contents first, then the folder.
