I have a directory I want to rename without spaces. This is the path to the file with spaces /home/ebank36/minecraft/The Fall of Gondolin.

I want to rename that directory to TFoG so I would like it to look like

/home/ebank36/minecraft/TFoG.

I need to do this so I can move a file out of that directory and place it in /home/ebank36/minecraft.

From a terminal, you could issue this command:

mv /home/ebank36/minecraft/The Fall of Gondolin /home/ebank36/minecraft/TFoG

(NOTICE the before the space. This is how bash knows the special character that follows the should be treated as part of the name)

Or, from a GUI, just click on that directory, press F2, and type the new name.
