Description
I uploaded a game ROM and gave it a name with a special character (eg. "é" or "à").
I could not delete the game later on via steam buddy.
If I select "Delete" I get a web with an error as response:
"Error: 500 Internal Server Error
Sorry, the requested URL 'http://gameros-sbc.local/shortcuts/delete' caused an error:
Internal Server Error"

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Steam Buddy by uploading a ROM with a name such as “é” or “à”, then selecting Delete and inspect the /shortcuts/delete entry point and its 500 response. Done means shortcuts for ROMs with special characters can be deleted successfully without an internal server error.
