Description:
Hi,

Renaming an ODBC name (Data Source Name) creates a new registry entry, but fails to delete old, thus leaving 2 entries in Administrative Tools\Data Sources (ODBC).

How to repeat:
1. Create new System DSN
2. Rename new system DSN

Will not be fixed in Connector/ODBC 3.51

The fix for this has been committed, and will be in 3.51.23.

The fix for the native Windows GUI has been committed, and will be in 5.1.2.

A note has been added to the 3.51.23 and 5.1.2 changelogs: 

Renaming an existing DSN entry would create a new entry with the
new name without deleting the old entry.
