Q: How to modify a user name ...
Hi,
I migrated OldNameUser1's data to a new account named User2. Until some test are completed with User2, I cannot delete OldNameUser1's account. I then modified OldNameUser1's name to NewNameUser1 by:
- modifying the user name shown in the account's system preference
- modifying the user name shown in the account's system preference (advanced options)
After renaming OldNameUser1, it's home folder is still identified as OldNameUser1. How can I modify it to NewNameUser1 ? When that will be done, will I be able to use OldNameUser1 as User2's account name ?
Thanks in advance.
