Change a users profile URL

I export/imported my user data to create a new WP installation.

This ended up creating an additional admin, so now I have /admin/ and /admin-2/

I would like to change /admin-2/ to a standard name like /Jonny/

I used a plugin called ‘Change Username’ to change the user to Jonny, however buddypress didn’t update and still says admin-2.

How can I update this users URI?

Why not delete that user and create a new one?

By the way, it’s not a good idea to have an admin with a user name of admin, it’s the first target for hackers trying to guess your password.

Ideally I would like to change that, but not sure how. Fortunately the pass for that account is heavily encrypted and I use wordfence to prevent brute forcing
