Windows 10: Rename Folder for assigned to system user

I would appreciate some assistance with the change requested below:

LAPTOP
is connected to a network

LAPTOP
has a sign on account is connected to LAPTOP

LAPTOP
The has the following 3 folders are attached to LAPTOP impacted by the change request:

- A1
- B2
- USERS

The contents of each folders are listed below:

A1 - Contains active files

B2 - "which has the same as the account " contains folder A1
ie (\\LAPTOP\B2)

USERS -Contains folder A1

I would like to know what I can do to delete the duplicate folders:.

Step 1:
Move the active files from Folder A1 to Folder B2 and delete folder A1.:
Step 2:
Move Folder B2 under the USERS Folder:

This would ensure that the active files are located in Folder B2 under the USERS folder and the folder
will the be associated with the Account Name.

I would appreciate your comments on if this is possible

Renaming the users folders

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

You are trying to rename the User folder, which can’t be done through the File explorer. Whatever user name you use of your User account, user account folder will have same name. You can rename the Subfolder of the User account folder but not User
account folder.

If you want rename the User account folder, change user account name using the suggestion

Lets’ refer to these steps to rename the User account and check if that helps.

• Press Windows and X keys together.
• Click on Control Panel, click on User Accounts.
• Click on User account, then click on “Change your account name”
• If it’s prompting for password please enter and click on Yes. If you do not have password click on
  Yes.
• Enter the new user name.
• Click on change name.

Renaming the users folders

Hello!

Is it possible ton rename the user folder without generating a mess in the system? Here is an example to explain my question:

Let's say the user's name is Sebastian. When Windows is creating an new account on a computer, the system creates a folder called 'sebast' in C:\Users. (C:\Users\sebast)

If Sebastian wants to rename this folder in C:\Users\Sebastian (for aesthetic reason), is it possible? How?

Thank's in advance for any help

 

User folder renaming

Hello,

IMO, though you can rename user account but I would not recommend you to rename user account folder. It'll mess up your system.
