    If you run EVPM it will re-create the folder.

    If you want to update the retention, just specify the new retention category but keep the folder name the same. You can check by ctrl+shift clicking on an EV icon and getting Vault Information and looking at the Retention Category ID.

    [Folder]
    Name = \@Same Archive Folder Name
    RetentionCategory = NewRetentionName
    Overridearchivelocks = true
