Why do I get error when trying to change directory to the mounted drive in Google Colab?

When using the command

        %cd '/content/gdrive/MyDrive/'

I get the error:

        ERROR:root:Internal Python error in the inspect module.
        Below is the traceback from this internal error.

It was working fine before but when I removed one folder and added one, it started to show this error.

There is a space in between My Drive.

Try using:

%cd '/content/gdrive/My Drive/'

or

%cd '/content/gdrive/My\ Drive/'
