If you have RW_tools you can go into the Route Editing screen, clone the route with a new name and delete the original

Alternately you can edit the RouteProperties.xml, though if you aren't familiar with xml editing option 1 is probably safer

If your talking about your "Product" folder, I've just tried it and it was a disaster. :bad-words:
There are to many areas that need to be changed that look for the "Product" folder.
I had to give up and revert to a backup to restore my route.
The reason I renamed my "Product" folder was because it include spaces which the dev docs say not to. :oops:

Maybe your not going down this road at all.

Cheers

If it is just the route name you're changing inside the xml file, then it should be OK. :)
