Description
As stated in the ADLS Gen2 REST API, a create/rename operation can overwrite the existing file.
Create or rename a file or directory. By default, the destination is overwritten[...]
As far as I can tell, this is impossible to do with the storage explorer. Getting a Failed to rename '<file>'. An object with the new name already exists. Same error for files and directories. Running version 1.16.0.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the rename in Azure Storage Explorer 1.16.0 with both a file and directory whose destination already exists. Read the linked ADLS Gen2 REST API documentation and compare the explorer's behavior with the documented overwrite semantics. Done means supported renames overwrite the existing destination or clearly report the supported limitation.
