Remove accents in Windows username causing troubles with softwares and libraries
Question: I have an accent in my Windows username `Clément`. Therefore, there is an
accent in my user directory `C:\Users\Clément\`. This causes some troubles for
softwares and libraries.

For example, I recently installed Python Anaconda and I can't import the
packages (matplotlib, nltk,...) without having a `UnicodeDecodeError` because
of the path.

**My question is:** Is it possible to remove the accent of the Windows
username and change `C:\Users\Clément\` to `C:\Users\Clement\` without having
troubles with the other softwares? Or should I reinstall Windows?


Answer: A much easier solution would be to use Anaconda3, which is based on Python 3.
Python 3 handles Unicode strings natively, and it's much rarer to see issues
with non-ASCII characters in paths.
