I found where OBS studio puts the logs (~/.config/obs-studio/logs/) where

the spacey one to one without spaces I cannot:
$ mv 2021-02-09 06-56-46.txt 2021-02-09-06-56-46.txt
mv: target '2021-02-09-06-56-46.txt' is not a directory
The shell thinks you want to pass three arguments to mv. If you have
spaces in filenames, the filename must be quoted, otherwise the shell
thinks you are referring to two separate files.
mv '2021-02-09 06-56-46.txt' 2021-02-09-06-56-46.txt
or
mv 2021-02-09\ 06-56-46.txt 2021-02-09-06-56-46.txt
At least I think this is a shell thing. Regardless, you need to deal
with the fact that your filename contains spaces. If you use tab
filename completion in the shell, it will typically do the quoting for you.
