How do you change the URI of a SharePoint library? Based on Google searching, most people say that changing the name of a library in Designer (via right click->rename) will result in the URI change, but it is only changing the name for me.

I am using SharePoint 2010 Foundation and these are the steps I am following:

  1. In Designer, navigate to List and Libraries
  2. Right click library -> rename
  3. Notice that name changes
  4. Notice that URI does not change

This is one of the resources I found claiming that this works:

In SharePoint Designer just navigate to All Files navigation node (not List and Libraries node), find your document library there -> right-click library -> rename.

The URI would change then.
