how to remove the space from a user folder

[Church.exe]

YES I KNOW YOU CAN CHANGE ITS NAME, BUT IF YOU REMOVE A SPACE THEN THE SYSTEM CANT OPEN IT CORRECTLY
now that thats out of the way, i need to remove a space from the user folder since i let someone else do it when i was away and they set it up wrong

Remove the Windows User entirely and make a new one using the Local Account option.
If there are user files in that folder structure, copy them to another folder first.

Yes do not use spaces or odd characters in a Windows User Account creation for the name.

For example of my name: I would not use "Bad Motha" or "Bad_Motha", but simply "BadMotha"

As while Windows itself doesn't really care about this, many games can't created user files properly if the user name has a space or odd characters.

Best and easiest way. Renaming user folders is a mess.

will the programs themselves transfer over then?like say i want to uninstall one then what since windows would probably still see it like that, to be more blunt, which things would be lost when i do this?

Depends on how long ago everything was set up.

You don't have to worry about programs/apps; just loose user files that are within C:\Users\UserName > Documents, Downloads, Pictures; etc.
Now there is an AppData structure you will need to look at too.
Much of what resides within AppData structure though does pertain to "All Users" via a means of shared data; but some are user per user specific.

^ Helpful as well; especially if you did alot of user desktop customization/changes to settings per that user and wish to transfer all of that easily over to another user's local account.

oh-god yeah thats like perfect since iv had to be on this account for years and never had the time to fix it

I thought u said it was a new secondary user?

If you change the Windows account name via the normal OS methods, this only changes the "Display Name" not the "Folder Name"

For example; if you install Windows OS and create new user; lets say "Bob"
and then at a later time go to User Accounts and change this name to say "Bob Barker"

Bob Barker will only be reflected as "Windows User Display Name"
But in C:\Users it will have "Bob" as that users folder name; because you can not change that by normal means.
