I have a "!" as part of my username.

e.g.

C:\Users\name!>

Due to that, I encounter several directory issues installing some software including miniconda, apm for atom editor, etc.

Is there a way I could change my username safely and not affect/have minimal effect to the existing folders I have. Thanks!

You didn't say which version of Windows you were using.

However looks like its stored in the registry under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
