Even two-stage renaming does not always work. Having found that the folder had reverted to "DataPeerfect" (double e) even after I renamed it to "DataPerfect" (single e), I exited Mozilla and looked at the on-disk files and found "DataPerfect" and "DataPerfect.msf" (both single e). I restarted Mozilla, renamed the folder to "xxxx" (intending to rename to "DataPerfect" later), exited Mozilla, found that the on-disk files are called "xxxx" and "xxxx.msf", restarted Mozilla and foudn that the folder is still named "DataPeerfect" !!!!!
