Windows 10: Help with Missing Files from TEMP user After Changing User Names in Registry Editor

Hi,I recently made changes to the user names on my computer using the Registry Editor, unaware of the potential consequences. As a result, I am now logged in as a TEMP user. While in this TEMP account, I transferred files from my original user profile to the current TEMP profile.Later, I attempted to change another user’s name User #2 via the Registry Editor and restarted my computer. After restarting, I noticed that some files but not all on my desktop, specifically recent ones, are missing from the TEMP user profile. I’m unsure how to retrieve these files and would appreciate any guidanc
