Description
- I tried to rename a large folder (175 GB), and got the attached error message ("Access was denied to rename [xxx] to [yyy]")
- The problem persisted after opening and closing fman
- The renaming was no problem on a smaller test-folder
- The renaming caused no problem in the Windows explorer
fman Ver 1.7.3
Win 10, 64-bit

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the rename in fman 1.7.3 on 64-bit Windows 10 with a 175 GB folder, then compare the result with Windows Explorer and a smaller folder. Done means the large-directory rename succeeds without an access-denied error.
