You need to quote the $, otherwise the shell expects a variable.

cd /media/usr ; mv '44691167-b916-42ad-87f0-b215c6ef2e6c$.' whateveryouwant

should do the trick.

  • Hey Falk I tried but I failed. My mistake because I don't have clarified that that ugly name is the name of the hdd. :( – Paulo Sergio Schlogl May 18 '19 at 10:09
  • Then it's the UUID of the file system and can't be changed. Is the HDD mounted to this folder? (mount | grep 4469 should give this away) – Falk Stern May 20 '19 at 06:33
