Check out the below code
% This is the path to data folder
pathToData = fullfile(pwd, 'data');
dataFolder = dir(pathToData);
dirFlags = [dataFolder.isdir];
subFolders = dataFolder(dirFlags);
%Considering values from 3rd index to not include '.' and '..'
subFolders = subFolders(3:length(subFolders));
for k = 1 : length(subFolders)
% Get the name of the person folder within data folder
person = subFolders(k).name;
personSubFolder = dir(fullfile(pathToData, person));
% Get subFolders within the person folder. Excluding '.' and '..'
personSubFolder = personSubFolder(3:length(personSubFolder));
for j = 1: length(personSubFolder)
seFolder = personSubFolder(j).name;
% srcFolder is the original folder. destFolder is the new Name of the folder
% I'm using the movefile() function to rename accordingly
srcFolder = fullfile(pathToData, person, seFolder);
destFolder = fullfile(pathToData, person, person + " " + seFolder);
movefile(srcFolder, destFolder);
% fprintf('\n \n ------------- Renaming from ---------- \n \n');
% disp(srcFolder);
% fprintf('\n \n To \n \n');
% disp(destFolder);
end
