Changing User Name ??

Thanks for the reply Ghot and based on your inspiring comment I was able to solve my problem. What was throwing me off was the inability to delete a "built in" user account which can't be deleted since Windows keeps a hold of it. Any ways found a very good/helpful method here - [How to Change User Folder Name in Windows 10 – 2 Ways - MiniTool - which provides a step by step way to do exactly what I needed to do.
