    Change my admin user folder name


    I already have an admin account on this PC named "sam" but my folder is named samfl the first 5 letters in my email. I want the name of that folder to be sam. I have 2 other W10 PC's with exactly that scenario. I don't know why this is so hard but I already had to re-install once when the PC wouldn't let me sign back in after trying some methods I found on help forums. I must have done this before but I don't remember how, Or maybe somethings changed? This is Windows 10 Pro

    :)
