Windows 10: Renaming error

I'm experiencing a renaming error. This is what happened, I renamed dozens of folders, I moved them out of the current folder and I found out that they reverted to the previous names. I tried undo ctrl+z to move them back and their names still didn't change.

Errors on creating, renaming, deleting folders in explorer

Thanks for that will get on it.

In meantime, the folder name, rename, delete issues and related error messages in part is just because windows explorer has suddenly started requiring a refresh for each step to show the new folder for renaming, then again after it has been renamed etc. So I have to keep hitting F5 for every step in the process including the moving of files from one folder to another. Is there a solution to that? That would be part of the probelm solved and I can then see if there are any remaining problems.

Thanks

Tha bit has been solved by a restart of explorer. I will watch for any remaining issues and folow dalchina's advice should they still be present.

 

Can't rename folder.

Hi Howard,

It is possible that the difficulty renaming your folder is due to access/account limitation or a recent change was made on your computer. For better assistance, please answer the following questions:

• Are you getting an error message when trying to rename the folder?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried?
• Can you send us a screenshot of the "Public" folders?

We will be waiting for your response.
