At times tools do not accept a certain type for delimiter from a CSV file, in such cases, if you want to change the delimiter to something else, then you can install the CSV Lint plugin in Notepad++.
Open CSV Lint window and click on "Detect Columns" followed by "Reformat". Here you can choose the delimiter from the "Column separator" dropdown.

Once you click on OK, the delimiter will be updated in the CSV text tab as shown below.
