# Rename Components

You can rename a component and all the files (including test files for LWC components) associated with it using the **SFDX: Rename Component** command. The command prevents renaming if the new component name doesn’t follow required naming conventions. For Lightning Web Components, the command automatically revises the letter case, if needed.

Renaming a component in a project doesn't delete the component from the org. To rename components in your org:

1. Log in to your org and delete the component with the older name.
2. Rename the components in your project.
3. Deploy the components with the updated name.
