user account messed up

[svcghost]

Hey guys. I recently copied my home directory and created a new user to match the copy. Cuz I wanna create a new directory name and username . Only one problem. All my files are giving permission to my OLD username. How can I fix this?

No.
Step

explains you can do that to an entire folder with its subfolders and files.

You can set permissions on the parent folder, and have it propagate to child folders too.
