Marklogic How to change directory name

How to update directory from "/Collections/" to "/CollectionsCount/" in Marklogic

Directories are a construct based on a document's URI, so in order to change the directories, you will need to delete the old documents and insert new ones at new URIs (using the new directory prefix in place of the old one).

for $each in xdmp:directory("/collections/", "infinity")
let $old-uri := $each/xdmp:node-uri(.)
let $permissions := xdmp:document-get-permissions($old-uri)
let $collections := xdmp:document-get-collections($old-uri)
let $quality := xdmp:document-get-quality($old-uri)
let $properties := xdmp:document-properties($old-uri)
let $new-uri := concat('/collectionsCount/', substring-after($old-uri, '/collections/'))
return (
  xdmp:document-insert($new-uri, $each, $permissions, $collections, $quality),
  xdmp:document-set-properties($new-uri, $properties),
  xdmp:document-delete($old-uri))

Edit: Updated to include @hunterhacker's suggestion to propagate document metadata. Note that I intentionally left out assigning the new document to the old document's forest, since in most cases I assume it's better to let the database decide.
