Renaming User Folder Windows 10

For some reason, my computer has my user folder named as "carol" when my name is in fact, not Carol. I am logged into my Windows account so it should be my name. I tried to follow the steps of creating a new admin user account and then renaming from there,
however when I did that and attempted to log back on to my account it wasn't able to read any of my files. Giving me the error that it's not logging me into my account and starting in a safe mode, saying it can't read my user profile. To fix this issue I just
had to go back and rename the folder "carol" and now it works again.

How can I rename this user folder successfully?

Thanks!
