    Hi @Rising Flight ,Thank you for posting in this community.

    The short answer is No. Unfortunately, the “General” folder associated with each SharePoint site’s default document library(the name of a general channel in Microsoft Teams) cannot be deleted or renamed.

    I recommend you give suggestion in the feedback portal and help to make improvements. Many features of current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback.
