  1. Renaming custom This PC folders


    I have two custom folders in This PC, one named TV Shows A-K and the other named TV Shows L-R. These were created using Winaero tweaker. I need to rename these. I cannot access this section of Winaero Tweaker to delete previously created custom This PC folders I can create new custom folders- just can't delete existing ones due to a problem with my Windows 11 Pro installation- the existing folders won't show up in Winaero Tweaker due to an exception error, so I can't see them in Tweaker to delete them. I know this problem is in Windows and not Winaero Tweaker. I have already tried reinstall

    :)
