Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I've already read the Apple support article on doing this, but it's still not crystal clear what I need to do given what I want to change and I obviously want to make sure. My admin user name is "First Last" and my home folder name is "first" (note the missing first capital letter). All I want to do is rename my home folder from "first" to "First". The support article is a little ambiguous regarding this. Thanks for any help.

Create another Admin user.
Log out of first and log into the new user account.
Rename /Users/first to /Users/First.
In Users & Groups, ctrl-click on user first and choose Advanced…
Change both the short user name and the home folder path to First and /Users/First.

Barney, thanks so much for taking the time to reply with the perfect answer. It had been years since I'd done this but in following your steps it all came back. I'll put this in an Apple Note so I'll have it the next time I get a new Mac and (probably) forget and let the setup process mis-name my home folder. Thanks again!
