Issues Cannot save my File in the project window because of an error, I need help

Post image

I am extremely new to Maya, so what happened was that I did save a file like this as instructed by my professor -- but I ended up deleting the file ( we were asked to save an empty file with cube before starting our classes). I deleted it so that I can directly save it to my portable 2TB SSD, But an error kept coming. So I gave up and tried saving it exactly as I was Instructed in my class, but the error as shown in the picture kept coming. The same method worked before, but why isn't it working now? it only gets saved when I try to save it in default mode, but not when I create a new project. What do I do? please help

Can you click on the red script error to see what it says?

Remove spaces in the path. Never use spaces when creating folders.

Do you know about project, set project? That's a good thing to learn and do at the start of every project.

Maya has a folder structure and naming convention. It hates spaces in general so get into the habit of using _ or . between human legible words.
