How do I combine all users into one? iTunes, documents, pictures?

I just migrated files from my pc, to my new MacBook. I had multiple users on my pc and they transferred to my Mac in that way. Problem is, I don't want multiple users anymore. Now that the files(itunes, pics, documents) are on my Mac, I want them all on one user. The admin user. One place. Any idea how to move this stuff? Thank you!

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), iOS 6.0.2

Depends on how much data there is in total. You could just save all the data into the 'Shared' folder on the hard disk by going into each account and making copies or moving the data you want to keep. When that's done, switch to the account you want to move it to and copy it all in from the 'Shared' folder.


If there's too much for your HD, copy it all off to an external USB hard disk, delete all user accounts apart fromthe one you're going to use, then copy it from the external back into your admin user.
