How to rename Lightning component

It's a basic question. How to rename Lightning component once created?  I couldn't find any menu on Devloper console and any buttons on Setup|Develop|Lightning Components. Is it necessary to delete and create new one with new name?

To Delete -> Developer Console -> File (make sure you're in the tab of the lightning component you want to delete) -> click Delete

Easiest was to provide a new label for the component via the design file.

<design:component label="New Name"> </design:component>

We can run below query in developer console query editor. It will return all the aura component name in DeveloperName column.
SELECT Id, DeveloperName, MasterLabel FROM AuraDefinitionBundle
Now we can edit Developer Name, MasterLabel and save it. It will reflect all the place wherever the component is used. If you are using the component in controller and helper, It will reflect there also.

Hi Naoki, 

You can use dataloader and update records in the table "AuraDefinationBundle" .The developerName is the field that needs to be updated.
Please note you need dataloader or workbench since the object is not accessible via apex.

Best,

Try to use the Developer Console Query Editor and update the names of the Lightning Components to see what happens. Run this query in the Query Editor.
Select Id, DeveloperName from AuraDefinitionBundle

Edit developer name --> save

Work Done.

Hi,

you do not need to delete existing component, 

Let's try to use the Developer Console Query Editor and update the names of the Lightning Components to see what happens. Run this query in the Query Editor.
Select Id, DeveloperName from AuraDefinitionBundle

Edit developer name --> save

On the Macintosh side you can run the query mentioned:
Select Id, DeveloperName from AuraDefinitionBundle
