How about this!

" Running

sudo usermod -d new_home_dir username

will change your home directory to new_home_dir and will also update the system file that stores the location of your home directory (/etc/passwd).

If you also want to move all files from your current home directory, use:

sudo usermod -d new_home_dir -m username
