Problems with whitespaces on Powershell

Question

I have a Powershell script to remove items on a folder:

Get-ChildItem D:\FUNDACIÓN CB\Pedro Corchero Murga\Info de vídeos\Proyectos\* | Remove-Item -Recurse

The problem is that I'm having issues with the path because it have whitespaces and gives me this error:

Get-ChildItem : No se encuentra ningún parámetro de posición que acepte el argumento 'Corchero'.
En línea: 1 Carácter: 1
+ Get-ChildItem D:\FUNDACIÓN CB\Pedro Corchero Murga\Info de vídeos\Pro ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-ChildItem], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand

How I can fix it?

Simply add quotes " " to the path:

Get-ChildItem "D:\FUNDACION CB\........"
