I just close Bitcoin Core and my Pc and I reopened them. I wanted to repeat the process but Bitcoin Core continues where it stopped earlier. It remains 4 years and 21 weeks :
You don't have to repeat IBD if the blocks are intact, just rescan from block 0 and it'll scanned those available blocks.
Go to "Console" (Window->Console) and type rescanblockchain to rescan with default args.

I am sorry to be so ignorant but i don't know the wallet name. where does i find it?

I hope that a lot of spammers sent a lot of dusts
Old wallet.dat files don't have a specific wallet name.
In the new versions, the wallet name is equivalent to the folder where it's located: ...\bitcoin\wallets\<wallet_name>\wallet.dat

As for "dusts", it's usually those old addresses with large amount of Bitcoins are being targeted.
