I have a working application that includes Blazor Server, Blazor WASM, and an API. I want to change the names of the solution and the projects while ensuring that the current application remains unaffected. What is the easiest and problem-free way to accomplish this? I am using VS.NET 2022 Community.

    There is no easy way. Renaming the projects does not change the folder structure names, nor does it update the namespaces.

    Renaming the folders requires manually updating the project and solution files to use the new file paths.

    then use refactoring to change namespaces.
