Renaming a Platform creates an entire new folder and doesn't delete the old one, causing many confusions

This is a very easy fix: When a user renames a Platform (like, from Sega Genesis to Sega Mega Drive), just rename the folder. Don't create a new folder with a thousand subfolders and leave the old one like a skeleton in the closet.

Correct.

Also these will be automatically renamed as of one of the recent betas, and will be in the 11.7 release.

• New Feature: When editing platforms and changing the platform name, you'll now be prompted to optionally change all the platform folder names, and also optionally migrate all media (from the poll)
