how to restore to single login user

I have a Mac book air (M2 chip), I had created 2 separate user login - one for the company and one personal. Now I want to just keep one user login only, how to do it with synchronizing data's and not loosing it as well. Thanks.

Merging User Accounts on an Account:

You'd have to transfer everything to the other user, manually. You'd either share the files*** between the users, or would transfer it using an external method (Hard Drive or eMail) It's a matter of merging two accounts int one. And that is just not an option. For applications (i.e. MS Office), you;'d lose a license. So, contact the developer, requesting a new license key for install.
