    Unable to rename a folder_folder in use


    I have a folder that I like to rename to a more descriptive name. It says "Folder Use Try again." I Move not Copy all the files in another file. My thinking is that with folder now empty, how could anything in the folder be open? There isn't anything in the folder. However, the message does say "File or Folder." So itmust be that some app has the folder openSo my question comes down to "How to find out the app that has a given folder open".What are your thoughts?TIA for you help.SweetTasha.

    :)

    Unable to create a new folder or rename a folder

    Hi Edver,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I'll certainly help you with this.

    I would like to let you know that you may not be able to rename or add a new folder from Quick access. It will allow you to open the folders that are frequently used, recently viewed files or the files/folders that are added to
    Quick access.

    If you are unable to create or rename files/folders in other folders as well, then I would suggest you to run a SFC scan.

    System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin)       to bring up elevated Command prompt.
    • In Command prompt type sfc /scannow and press enter.
    • Restart the computer.

    Hope this will help you. Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank you.
