Windows 10: Account owner folder has a space in it, so I'm making it redundant: What's the best way to...

As the title says, some of the applications I've been using are failing on my owner account because I naively put a space in there at setup.


I don't believe I can change that (although if I'm wrong, please let me know, because that would be great), so I want to move my files from the owner folder at C:\Users\[owner name with a space in it] to a new folder at C:\Users\[admin name without a space in it] without breaking anything.



Opinions from experts or other reformed idiots who once registered with spaces in their username are appreciated.

Is there a way to collapse "redundant" folders in file explorer?

HI Dillyjb97,

The Navigation Pane Tree of your File Explorer is designed to work as how you have described it on your post. It doesn't have an option to expand the items in Folder 1/Folder 2/Folder
3 view. However, you may enable some options on your navigation pane to automatically show the folders within a folder without having to double click it. Just click the drop-down option on the Navigation Pane and tick the other three options as shown
in the photo below:





You may also set the single-click option to open an item in your File Explorer. Here's how:

1. Open File Explorer and navigate to View > Options > Change folder and search options.
   
2. Under the General > Click items as follows, tick the
   Single-click to open an item (point to select).
3. Click Apply, then OK.

If the above options won't work for you, then you may send this as a suggestion through our
Feedback Hub. This way, our software engineers will be able to look into your suggestion. Please follow the steps provided in Send
feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app to submit your suggestion.

Please let me know if you need further information.

Regards.
