Using {movefile} to rename a directory actually moves all the contents to a new folder and then delete the previous one. And if there are huge number of files in the directory, that is time consuming. Hence, is there a way to rename the directory in-place, without actually moving the sub-files and sub-directories.
Thanks for your help.
Yours, Maad

What do you mean by rename the directory? You mean the folder that has all your files? If that's it, you just need to rename the folder on your drive.

Oh, you want to rename all the files in the directory. Is that correct? If so, what types of files are they? It would be different for each file type. It also depends on what the file names are currently and what you want to rename them to.

No, not that. I want to rename the folder that contains those files. And I have many folders to be renamed as they all have many files as well.
oldFolderName <----rename this programmatically
...folder_1
......file_1
......file_n
...folder_m
......file_1
......file_n
