migration created two users

I used migration assistant to move files from my old PC to my Mac, which I have been using for awhile. Now I have two users. How do I merge them?

You cannot merge two user accounts, but you can move the files from one account and place them in the Shared folder so that you can then pull those files into the main user account.
