I had the same kind of bug when renaming the file in jupyter notebook and I got rid of it by simply finding all files with the same name as the one causing the error and deleting them and creating a new one in Jupyter notebook.

you can make the checkbox checked specific to the folder which you created and then use Rename from the top menu options.

The folder i was trying to rename was listed as a running notebook under the running tab. after shutting it down, i was able to rename it.
