Windows 10: Windows cannot find: C:\User\User Name\Folder

I recently change a folder's name in C:\Users\ from A to B. Visual Studio Code used to be in A and now I cannot uninstall it and when I tried to uninstall it, a message says Windows cannot find: C:\User\A\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\unins000.exe. What can I do about it? Note that there is no more C:\Users\A in the File Explorer and I can still use the app just fine, but when I typed code . in PowerShell, it does not get recognized. In Registry Editor, there are 2 folders named Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2198412406-2551858265-2123393027-1001 and Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-21984

3. Click on the user name folder and then tap on F2 Key.

4. Change the name of the folder and hit on Enter Key.

5. It will ask for Administrator Permission and click on Ok.

6. Folder name will be changed.

User's folder is not present in c:\\Users

Putting aside your somewhat random use of forward, backward, and double slashes, please explain the difference between:

• In Windows 7 Window Explorer, one cannot view the UserName folder
  in c:\\Users

and

• UserName folder, normally viewable from c://Users, can be still be viewed and fully accessed from UserName's Desktop
  via Window's Explorer

Click Start, type C:\Users into the Search box, and press Enter

Please list everything you see. If you would rather not reveal actual user names, use UserA, UserB, UserC, etc. Please mention whether view hidden files and folders is enabled or not.

Is the name of one (or more) users missing from the list of items?

Navigate to any document in the "UserName folder" that you can't see in C:\Users, then right-click and select Properties.

What is shown as the document's "Location"? Again, if you want to use UserA rather than the actual name, that's OK.

 

User Account folder name

Well... that accomplished absolutely nothing! F2 alone brought up my volume bar. Ctrl-F2 = nothing! Fn-F2 = nothing! And, finally, Alt-F2 = nothing! What's supposed to happen when I "click" the User [my (sorta) name] folder and press the F2 key?!
