File Pathway Problem

[gumboot]

I thought I was pretty au fait with computers but I'm really stuck with a problem right now that I can't figure out how to correct.

I've bought a new Asus windows 11 laptop two weeks ago and I've only noticed today that some of the details entered during setup were entered incorrectly. Today, I was using OneDrive to look at some pictures I transferred to the laptop. Basically, the file pathway to the pictures folder is shown in the toolbar as:

C:\users\fred\OneDrive\Pictures\

The name "fred" is incorrect and isn't the name I thought I'd entered. It should read:

C:\users\freda\OneDrive\Pictures\

What I want to know is how can I change fred to freda throughout the computer file system ( I think it used to be called "globally ). I've just used fred and freda as examples but in essence, one letter is missing from the end of my proper name and I need to put it right! To make matters worse, it's my email name and not my proper forename that I planned to use for the files/folders!

Can a change somehow be made to put the situation right?

Thank you

If you want to change the actual folder name, open File Explorer, navigate to the dirctory above, select the one you want to rename, and right click - then choose the "rename" option, which might be under "Show more options". You may need to be sure the directory or any subdirectories or files therein are not in use first.

'fred' (in your example) is your account username. See here for instructions on how to change it:

Yes that’s a better idea
If you try to change the username by changing the directory name you’ll probably have to reconfigure OneDrive
