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.
