Change the name of your macOS user account and home folder, Big Sur

I tried to change the name of home folder and user account name as guided here https://discussions.apple.com/article/HT201548. It was't successful and I changed back to original name. I still can't access my contents in home folder. Any suggestion, please. Thanks.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0
