How do you rename a file in the path of the project without causing errors?

Whenever I tried to rename the project file or the folder(s) it’s inside of, I can no longer use “live coding” as it can not find the path name since I changed it.

I believe you need to rebuild the project is you change a c++ class name. Try right clicking the .uproject file and Generate Project Files again.

If you’re using Visual Studio, you can try rebuilding the project there as well.
