(schematic) Wire keeps its old name instead of new one (power symbol) ( solved )

I’m updating my KiCAD schematic. I merged some power nets and renamed them.
But, the nets (wires) still have the old names.
I opened ~.sch file and found the old names are still there. It is active after generating netlist and finally the old name still appears in the pcbnet.

In below screen capture,
VIO is a new wire name.
VCCIO_B0 ( shown in the status bar ) is the old name.
In eeschema, there is no wire (net) with VCCIO_B0 at all.
If I do “global search with VCCIO_B0”, some VIO nets are shown.
There is no explicit name assigning of VCCIO_B0 at all.

How can i change the wire (net) name into VIO instead of VCCIO_B0 ?

Best Regards,

Double check your power symbol. It should have an invisible pin whose name is what determines the net name. See Tutorial: How to make a symbol (KiCad v5.1.x) section “Creating a custom power port (power symbol or power label)”

GREAT THANKS.
You’re correct. There is a pin name files in ‘pin table’ menu.
After fixing this, The net name is updated as I intended.
