Hi @Technician123 ,

You could use following PowerShell command to change library url.

PowerShell:

Connect-SPOService -Url https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com  
#Config Parameters  
$SiteURL= "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/name"  
$ListName="doc111"  
$NewListURL="doc222"  
  
#Setup Credentials to connect  
$Cred = Get-Credential  
$Cred = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.UserName,$Cred.Password)  
  
Try {  
#Setup the context  
$Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)  
$Ctx.Credentials = $Cred  
  
#Get the List  
$List=$Ctx.web.Lists.GetByTitle($ListName)  
$Ctx.Load($List)  
  
#sharepoint online change library url powershell  
$List.Rootfolder.MoveTo($NewListURL)  
$Ctx.ExecuteQuery()  
  
Write-host -f Green "List URL has been changed!"  
}  
Catch {  
write-host -f Red "Error changing List URL!" $_.Exception.Message  
}
