The error means Not Found, which is strange, since in your screenshot it is there.
What does that show?
Code:
w.cd('/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/save/00050010/10040200')
w.ls()

that looks good, now try reproducing the problem

I did some commands in wupclient to look into the users directory.

Code:
C:\Users\Curtis\Downloads\WUPClient>py -i wupclient.py
0x0
>>> w.cd('/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/save/00050010/10040200/user')
0
>>> w.ls()
     80000001/
     80000002/
     80000003/
     80000004/
     80000009/
     common/

looks like the rename did sort of work, but the folder was recreated? Did you go to the wii u menu in between?

I went back to Wii U menu after running the commands to log into the main user to test if the issue was still there.

You could try the same with your users folder in usr/save/system/pdm/ or usr/save/system/boss/

Below are the commands I entered for both of those directories. The were done while logged in as the new user with the System Settings open.

usr/save/system/boss/
Code:
>>> w.cd('/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/save/system/boss')
0
>>> w.ls()
     40000000/
     80000001/
     80000004/
     afd.db
     newsStorage.info
>>> w.mv('/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/save/system/boss/80000001', '/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/save/system/boss/80000009')

I currently have my Wii U still in the System Settings.

Then try that if any of that helped
It still happens.

I have used wupclient to check the two previously edited directories.

Code:
C:\Users\Curtis\Downloads\WUPClient>py -i wupclient.py
0x0
>>> w.cd('/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/save/system/pdm')
0
>>> w.ls()
     80000001/
     80000004/
     version
>>> w.cd('/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/save/system/boss')
0
>>> w.ls()
     40000000/
     80000001/
     80000004/
     afd.db
     newsStorage.info

At that point it is probably easier to just migrate your save games to the new user and deleting the old one

Maybe try removing or sining in to the Nintendo ID first

I am in tiramisu. I did the wupclient commands again, but in the settings just in case it made a difference.

Code:
C:\Users\Curtis\Downloads\WUPClient>py -i wupclient.py

hello its work ?
Post automatically merged:

I was logged in as the new user while attempting to rename the folder.

I haven't heard of wupclient before. Looking on Google, I found a github for a file called wupclient.py. Are there any other apps for either my PC or Wii U that I need in order to use and if so where can I find them?
hello its work ?

    Can you guys help with my problem concerning my Switch?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Did you switch it up
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Switch what up?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Switch the switch to resolve your issue
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, sorry but i cant, i dont have a switch. also what k3nv2 says is a joke
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's what I figured. I put a post up in a forum but no one seems to replying to posts there. I also don't what this chat is attached to.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    General chat as it implies
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, try posting in the "switch noob paradise" thread
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's where I put it. But like I said other people's posts from a day or two ago have no responses. I'm not sure if the chat is part of the Nintendo forum that I'm on or a part of the website as a whole.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, part of the website as a whole
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    then try making a thread
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    wait you are too new to be able to do that
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's fine. I'll find my way.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @BigArnold you put the fusee or hekate.bin in the hekate/ payloads folder, or use app to push the payload to switch while its in rcm mode
    +1
  • B @ BigArnold:
    The problem is is that TegraGUI isn't detecting my Switch despite it being plugged in and in RCM or maintenance mode.
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Did you click install driver inside the tegra app.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did all of that stuff and it seemed successful but still nothing. The only thing different from the guide I used was that my device wasn't showing up as APX but rather Nintendo Switch.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did it inside the Tegra app and Zadig.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Try a different USB c cable, or different USB port on your pc.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I tried a different port and don't have another cable. I'm fairly certain there's no issue with the equipment I'm using.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Some cheap USB c cables don't send data, they only charge
  • B @ BigArnold:
    The cable is usually used to connect my controller to my switch's dock.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Only other thing Id suggest is using a phone/tablet and use the Rekato app, or different pc
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Okay then.
    Thanks for your help.
