Solution 1

Remember you can only rename the folder, if you have the access rights.
"movie" is the name of the folder and exist in D drive and is renamed to movies or anything you desire.

try the below code

System.IO.Directory.Move(@"D:\movie", @"D:\movies");

I want to rename locally Ex if my folder is C:\ABC_A\ABC i want to make it C:\ABCA\ABC like how we rename in windows

Exactly it will rename ABC_A to ABCA using the Move() method. Like this System.IO.Directory.Move(@"C:\ABC_A", @"C:\ABCA"); Just try it you'll see the result by yourself.

Solution 2

Use the Directory.Move[^] method.

I didn't said to move it I said to rename it with new name at destinationlocation

OriginalGriff - 16 Jan '13 - 1:59

I know. The Move method renames directories of the rest of the path is the same: Directory.Move(@"C:\Temp\oldFolderName", @"C:\Temp\newFolderName");

Please check the below links to find how to rename folders and sub folders.
1. changing the name of folders with subfolders that also require name changes..[^].
2. SVN – Sub-Directory Renames via C#[^].

Thanks...

The solution provided in these links don't move the folders, instead it just renames. That is what you wanted.
