To change a Project name stored only on your machine (no Unity Services enabled):

  1. Open the Unity Hub.
  2. Click Projects.
  3. Click the overflow menu (three dots) to the right of your Project name.
  4. Click Show in Explorer for Windows. Reveal in Finder for Mac. 
  5. Rename Project folder.
  6. Restart the Hub.
  7. Click Projects > Add.
  8. Click newly changed Project folder.
  9. Click Select Folder.

The newly changed Project name will then appear in your list of Projects within the Hub.

    This does not seem to change the project name in the url.

    Unfortunately, the URL does not change when changing the name of the Project.

    The URL is set from a project identifier other than the Project name and it cannot be changed at this time.

    Impressive. How come a tool for devs lacks of the simple and obvious? 

    From the hub - projects I should be able to rename the projects. It's disappointing that one cannot change the name, delete a project, it's like designing a car with no seats. For years it wasn't implemented, that speaks a lot of the quality of the product and poor the design team imagination and short minded understanding of what they do every day.

    Hello Manuel,

    Thank you for your comment and for providing your feedback on managing projects. It is always great to hear from our users about what we can look to improve upon in future updates.

    Although your projects are opened via the Hub, they cannot be edited from there. Depending on if any Unity Services are being used for your projects will determine where they can be managed, as this article details.

    If no services are enabled, you can freely change the name of the project by renaming the folder stored on your machine.

    If there is anything else you need in the meantime, please feel free to email us at support@unity3d.com or alternatively, you can submit a ticket via this web form.
