Hi

I need to change my users folder name. It has an _ at the end which I don't like, I want to remove that.

The posts here are older and I don have local accounts in computer management anymore.

Can you show me step by step how to do so?

Thanks

Can you provide an image of what you are wanting to change? Have you looked at Settings>System>About?

A right click on most folders provides a way to change it's name. 

You can type, change user folder name, in the search box next to start and see more information.

Hi. I'm Brian, an Independent Advisor.

Here's an article that explains how it's done. Essentially, it's creating a new user with the correct spelling and removing the old.
