Renamed Folders Revert Back To Old Name When Moved

Windows 10. I am the administrator. I have searched all over and can not figure this out. I made sure controlled folder access in the virus settings is turned off as well.

I renamed some folders before putting them onto an external hard drive. Whenever these folders are moved from their parent folder, they revert back to their original name. For instance, I will rename FolderA[2020] to A(2020). All is fine. It accepts the rename. But once the file is moved anywhere else (even to the external hard drive), it reverts back to the original file name of FolderA[2020]. This has been going on for about 3-4 weeks. Never used to have an issue at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Clutching at straws a bit, but what do you see when you right click the renamed file with the new name and look under properties at the bottom?
See if there's anything unusual under any of the tabs, including previous versions and security (do you have the right permissions? And check Advanced under Security).

 

Someone solved this problem by moving the folder to an external HDD, then deleting the original, then copying back. The issue only occurred with one folder. If that was a solution, it would probably work by just moving the folder to somewhere else, then copying it back.
Another person found that there was a Details tab under Properties. "On the first line of the info that the page displays will be the 'old' name of the file (the one it keeps reverting back to) at the bottom of that page you’ll see 'Remove properties and personal information' in blue font. Click on the blue font….another screen pops up. Click on 'remove the following properties' then click the box on the first line which is, once again, the old name of the file. Now click 'ok' at the bottom". https://www.windows10forums.com/threads/renamed-folders-reverting-to-old-name-when-moved.21375/
