How do I merge the two folders into one fully path functional profile?
Slightly different problem but cannot find a thread for it, this is the closest so far: MS Tech did a remote repair in-place upgrade on my Win 10 64 v1903. It created a new User Profile with the .000 following my local User/Admin Profile. I now have 'Owner' and 'Owner.000'. 'Owner' shows up in the Accounts list and Owner.ooo does not. the 'whoami' returns me as logged in as Owner.000 and that is the account name in the Registry as well. The original 'Owner' account has about 31GB in its Users folder while the Owner.000 has about 67GB in its folder. What I have noticed is that programs like Office-365 Outlook 2016 cannot find the PST/OST files for my Gmail & Google Domain accounts as it is still searching using the old 'Owner' path, while the PST/OST files have been moved to the new .000 path.
I am sure as I try to use or access assets for many of the graphics and Autocad programs I use I will discover many broken links. How do I merge the two folders into one fully path functional profile?
Do I move the new into the old, or the old into the new, or both into a newly created Profile? Can I delete windows.old, or safely move it to an external drive as it takes up a lot of space?
I am not sure of how cut & Paste, vs Copy vs Drag & Drop behave under these conditions.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
