Changing user directory name

As the topic says i need to change my user directory name on windows 10 1909 build.

I use adobe to send my work to my school and on there end they see what i called my pc back in the day and, some teachers have deemed it not acceptable.... don't know why but here i am asking for help if at all possible.

To be clear i need what is shown below to change 

C:\Users\(my user name here)

Its possible via Regedit,

BUT

it will frick up all your Folders and Paths. 
So just make a new user and copy it vice versa.
But if your up for the Risk.

- First go into Control Panel and change your Username.

- Then press Windows + R and go into Regedit.

- Paste the following in the Bar ontop.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

- Search for your User.
- Create a new Userfolder in C:/Users
- Change the Path in ProfileImagePath to it.

- Log out or restart and see what happens.
