We are seeing the space char is causing this in the path, GUI bug

Hi, does this help?

I am also trying to delete an input and am getting the same error message. This one is a file input and the path structure is:

c:\ProgramData\ESA\Client Logs\Log.log

I have another input that has the structure below, but does not error:

c:\ProgramData\ESA\Server\Logs\Log.log

I think that it is something to do with the space in the file name.

Does that help?
