I'm not a 100% sure, but normally spaces are escaped e.g. New Folder 
would become New\ Folder. I personally don't use spaces.

Try ejecting the device on the desktop and then open a terminal and 
unmount and remount the device with the following:
sudo umount /home/UserName/Something/SomethingElse/Images && sudo mount 
/home/UserName/Something/SomethingElse/Images.

Alternatively, if the issue persists (and I'm sure it won't) try 
restarting the operating system. This can help if we accidentally 
called sudo mount -a multiple times or you can just run the sudo umount 
command above until umount tells you that the device is not mounted 
there and then you can mount the drive again.
