You need administrator permission to rename the directory OK.
You need permission from Z620\jeff to rename the directory - I am
Z620\jeff
This sort of thing is why I gave up on Windows for serious usage back in >2006. It's too cryptic.

I got there:
ICACLS * /T /Q /C /RESET
Thanks to Adrian Caspersz for pointing me in the right direction :-)
How on earth do "ordinary" users mange with Windows?

To be fair, they probably don't do weird enough stuff with their own kit
to get tangled up in user ownerships like this. Your habit of having
several different OSes across machines or per-machine over time, with
perhaps the same username but different account GUIDs might have
something to do with this stuff.

I'm sure you're right. Properties showed unknown owners with unknown
rights and running icacls seems to have cleared them out. Perhaps my
original idea of using the NAS for data was right, files are only accessed over the network so perhaps no ownership issues?

Well I manage by just using it, not trying to do anything fancy, just
gaming, email and t'internet.
