Renaming a module reverts back when setup/upgrade

[greg_taylor]

I want to change the name of my new module and whenever I run php bin/magento setup/upgrade it reverts back to my old name. I've changed the name everywhere in my code to my knowledge and it still reverts back. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello @greg_taylor

make sure you rename module name each module like mainly registation.php

then remove module name from config.php and then remove from setup_module and try setup:upgrade command and check it

Hope it will help you. if works then mark as solution.

Hi @greg_taylor

I understand the problem you are facing !

As you mention that you have change the Module Name from everywhere - then you also need to change the Name of NameSpace as well , Meaning your main directory Name.

So rename your VendorName and ModuleName with New name of the module

Also you need to change this moduleName from etc/module.xml file and registration.php file as well

Hope it helps !
