Filepath error when % is present

Hello - I'm trying to reference a set of files, many of which have % in them. Whenever a file or folder has % in the name, I get a "Parameter 'file path': Syntax error." message. This is simple enough to change for the folders, but there are hundreds of files that I would have to manually change to get this to work, and the time it would take to hunt down all the files manually would probably be almost as long as manually doing the thing I originally wanted Power Automate to do for me in the first place. Is there a way to make it accept the file names as is?

 

Thanks!
