Your folder arrangement is jumbled up, you're making an extra folder to contain the rank into which is probably why you have that error because it's in the stats folder that is inside leaderstats instead of just leaderstats.
Just scrap the idea of that Stats folder variable because you don't need an extra folder if you have one for leaderstats.
Then, you just adjust in the player removing function where you defined ["Rank"] so it can be fixed with the new changes.
Also, you are calling these datastore calls dangerously, they can error and thus you should utilize pcalls. Here's a tutorial on pcalls if you need it.
