"Save As" is supposed to save a new file with a new name, so it is expected that the existing file will not get renamed. Or do you mean something else?

Yes @OmarEmaraDev , I mean like, for example, you want to rename your project because you don't quite like the current name through Blender File View.

The current behavior is standard and by design.

File / Save As will save your current file as a new file with a different name, but does not delete the old file. You can then choose to keep the old file as a backup or you can just delete it,

Or you can simply rename your “.blend” file to a new name outside of Blender, as you can do with any file.
