Describe the bug
When using {Movie CleanTitle} in the naming scheme for movie format or folder format, single quotes are not always removed. It appears that if the single quote is at the beginning of a word in the title the single quote will stay, but if it is in the middle of a movie title it will remain.

Example:
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey will correctly become Bill and Teds Bogus Journey.
However,
Trick 'r Treat will remain Trick 'r Treat
and
Hang 'em High will remain Hang 'em High

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Set movie or folder format to anything that uses {Movie CleanTitle}
Attempt to rename a movie with a single quote at the beginning of a word ('Twas the Night Before Christmas (1974) or Trick 'r Treat (2007) or Hang 'em High (1968))
The movie and folder are not renamed appropriately.

Expected behavior
{Movie CleanTitle} should produce file and folder names with no special characters.

I also have this issue with some files. Here is an example of radarr trying to re-add the single quote that I removed from the files on disk along with my movie naming settings. If you need more information about this let me know and I can do whatever testing is needed. On Radarr version 4.1.0.6175 as of right now but that has been a persistent problem for me for a while. I've included the debug output of performing the rename on this file below as well.

I am also experiencing this issue. It's not just affecting films which have the quotes at the beginning or end of a word. I'm getting it on films which have the quotes in the middle of a word as well.

My naming scheme:

{Movie CleanTitle} {(Release Year)} {Edition Tags} [imdb-{ImdbId}]{[Custom Formats]}{[Quality Full]}{[MediaInfo 3D]}{[MediaInfo VideoDynamicRangeType]}{[Mediainfo AudioCodec}{ Mediainfo AudioChannels}][{Mediainfo VideoCodec}]{-Release Group}

The resulting name (with unwanted quote):

The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) [imdb-tt0243133][Bluray-1080p][AAC 2.0][x264]-RGroup.mp4

The folder name also has the quote, despite using the CleanTitle there as well in the naming scheme.

Trace logs (from the point of adding the film up to importing it manually):
https://privatebin.net/?5e3ed1cdf1d73eb3#7o3bDE9J7xDL2osN5tknj5VizHo6pj3dnjQjCWn4zotA

Some films have their quotes correctly stripped. What's so special about this one? I have another one in my library which has this issue as well: Don't Look Up (2021).
