This is a Python script that allows you to remove special characters automatically from files and folders in a specified root directory. The script recursively traverses all folders and files in the specified directory, replacing the special characters with a version without them. It provides an efficient solution for bulk renaming of files and folders by removing special characters such as emojis, symbols, or any other unwanted special characters.
