Spaces in Document Names
Question
Is it possible to take the spaces out of individual document names appearing in a list/libraryso the‘%20’ doesn’t show up in the URL when you send the link to someone (and yet still have the name appear with spaces)?
Response:

However, we know that is not going to always happen. So to answer your question, URLs can’t contain spaces, so if the document name contains spaces, the document URL will include %20 in place of the spaces. That said, you can create a hyperlink in an email or document or website that cleans that up.
For example, the following all link to a document that has spaces in its name:
