    Path to folders messed up. How to rename no name folder.


    Ran a script that created a folder with no name. It has other folders and files under it. I am not able to open folders or files under this empty name folder. You can see from the snippets, the folders shows in explorer and powershellWhen opening a file or folder get errors like the ones below. Any idea how to fix this?I have tried renaming the folders in powershell and explorer.exe. no luck.

    :)

    Renaming the users folders

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    You are trying to rename the User folder, which can’t be done through the File explorer. Whatever user name you use of your User account, user account folder will have same name. You can rename the Subfolder of the User account folder but not User
    account folder.

    If you want rename the User account folder, change user account name using the suggestion

    Lets’ refer to these steps to rename the User account and check if that helps.

    • Press Windows and X keys together.
    • Click on Control Panel, click on User Accounts.
    • Click on User account, then click on “Change your account name”
    • If it’s prompting for password please enter and click on Yes. If you do not have password click on
      Yes.
    • Enter the new user name.
    • Click on change name.
