cmdkey delete credentials with dashes and spaces on the name " -" [closed]

Question

cmdkey seems to be unable to delete credentials by target name when said name includes a space and a dash -

I have a credential Test Credential - Iteration1 which I want to delete, but when I try

cmdkey /del:Test Credential - Iteration1

I get The command line parameters are incorrect. since I guess it's taking the dash as a new parameter.

So far I've tried quotes, double quotes, 2 double quotes, escaping the dash with ^, enclosing with {} and none of those work:

cmdkey /del:Test Credential - Iteration1
cmdkey "/del:Test Credential - Iteration1"
cmdkey /del:"Test Credential - Iteration1"
cmdkey /del:{Test Credential - Iteration1}
cmdkey {/del:"Test Credential - Iteration1}
cmdkey /del:{LegacyGeneric:target=Test Credential - Iteration1}

How can I delete with cmdkey the credential Test Credential - Iteration1

EDIT: I validated that the command works for names without spaces. I created TestCredential-Iteration1 and the following command deletes it successfuly

cmdkey /del:TestCredential-Iteration1

I had a similar issue. First I found this code:

cmdkey /list | ForEach-Object{if($_ -like "*Target:*"){cmdkey /del:($_ -replace " ","" -replace "Target:","")}}

https://gist.github.com/janikvonrotz/7819990, which allowed me to delete all credentials except the one with spaces. Then I ran this:

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr 

from here: https://forflukesake.co.za/wp/clear-credential-manager-fast/ and that opened up the gui and allowed me to remove it.
