How to change home folder and all its subfolder
I have changed my username from "user" to "newuser", but when I checked, with :
ls -la
I got that some folder is used in my old name, like this.
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 16 01:35 ..
-rw------- 1 newuser user 2643 Sep 17 11:25 .bash_history
-rw-r--r-- 1 newuser user 220 Sep 16 01:06 .bash_logout
I want to change the "user" to "newuser"
Can I do it ?
If the old username is still appearing, then that means the old user still exists and you're using a new one. You can use 'chown' to take ownership of the files, however the files you listed are user specific and would be better left as-is (unless they are in the wrong user's home directory)
