Yesterday I changed the name of a movie folder from "North By Northwest (1959)" to "North by Northwest (1959)". The only change was a capital 'B' to lowercase 'b' in the word 'by'.

After this change I rescanned it back to the library, but since then every time I try and play it from the library it says it doesn't exist, and asks if I want to delete it. If I completely delete and re-scan, it picks it up but will again refuse to play telling me it doesn't exist again.

If I try to change the artwork, Kodi crashes. This happens every time I try to change it, regardless of what scraper is used (couple of examples below).

Looking at he crashlogs I can see it's still referring to the "North By Northwest (1959)" folder that no longer exists.

The movie plays fine if I play the file directly via the file manager, but I can find no way to get it to play through the library.

I'm using a mysql database for the library, and it may be something to do with this, but that's just a guess.

Rename it North By Northwest (1959) and then delete it from the library (being careful not to delete the folder as well). Then rename it North by Northwest (1959) ​​​​​​​and rescan.

Thanks Hitcher, but renaming, deleting from the library, and re-naming again makes no difference. It seems that the database retains some info even after it's been removed.
