I changed the short name of my Admin name here:

And after that, everything was gone. I tried to change it back, but my data still is missing. Is there anyway I can get it back?
Thanks.
 
Maybe its the directory name, I'm not sure, but in the picture, I clicked on the house and it let me change it.
 
Yep, never change your user name, or else you'll be screwed over. Most system files that come with your computer, as in the ones you didn't install with other program, should never be modified.
 
the files would still be on the computer wouldnt they?? they couldnthave been deleted. theyd just be moved or invisible or something
