Re-Naming User Folders
Hi all
First post, so fingers crossed! My problem:
I recently bought a pre-owned laptop. The previous owner, Sara, has cleaned out her files etc, but her name remains as a locked folder in user profiles.
* I have created a 'Steve' user name as my default admin user. It does not appear in the user folders, where the Sara, Default user folders are
* The Sara user name does not appear in the control panel under users, but all items I've copied from my external drive onto the desktop ready for installations etc, are in the Sara 'Desktop' folder within the main 'users' folder - if I deleted the Sara user, it will delete all the stuff I've copied across onto my desktop (memory is gone now, but maybe I copied across my stuff onto the desktop before I created my Steve admin user).
* When I paste my favourites folders into the Sara folder, it does not show up when I launch Google Chrome
* I am definitely logged in as Steve, as I can see it on the start menu
* I have googled this, and there's info re copying the data from one user to a newly created non-admin user, but options to copy from Sara user are greyed out.
* I don't really want to do a full re-install over this, but wondered if there is a workaround? I just want to be rid of the Sara user info, and be assured that my Steve admin account is the only account on the laptop.
Many Thanks in advance
