Changing Account Directory Name?

[iMacBoy]

Hi so I bought this Macbook off a friend and I have changed the main log in name to my name, but the home directory thing is named account2 and all I want to do is change it without messing anything up. Just rename it thats all.

Thanks in advance.

Just follow this guide. Make sure you backup first.

You could just add a new admin account for yourself, then move your data to that account... then delete the old account2.

This might not be a bad idea anyway to start with a fresh account with nothing leftover in there from the previous user.
