Reproduce it: Let's assume you want to import a new subdirectory tree in your gallery. One of your directories comes with a char space in its name.

./galleries/directory_02/Apples Pears/
./galleries/directory_02/Apples Pears/apple/
./galleries/directory_02/Apples Pears/pear/

Despite the error message after synchronization simulation, it is possible to proceed.
[./galleries/directory_02/Apples Pears] PWG-UPDATE-1 (wrong filename)
This directory (with space in its spelling) is then rejected (not created as an album), but its subdirectories are like becoming phantom first level albums.

Expected: Subdirectories must get rejected too.

Workaround solving: Hopefully, after removing spaces from directory names in the file system, and a synchronization, every phantoms are going away !
If many subdirectories were using the same name, in different rejected directories, several synchronizations may be needed.

Environment: Piwigo 11.3.0 with default conf:

// permitted characters for files/directories during synchronization
$conf['sync_chars_regex'] = '/^[a-zA-Z0-9-_.]+$/';
