Use RenameDirectory() function Try this :

 Dim dir As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo("C:\image\Test_Directory")
    Dim folders As DirectoryInfo() = dir.GetDirectories()
    For Each folder As DirectoryInfo In folders
        My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameDirectory(folder.FullName, folder.Name.Replace("Hello", ""))
    Next

You'd use Directory.Move() to rename the folders:

foreach (var dirName in Directory.GetDirectories(@"C:\image\Test_Directory"))
{
    string newName = dirName.Replace("Hello", "");
    Directory.Move(dirName, newName);
}
