mklink /j MyFolder ACTUALLOCATION
If I'm creating a junction to the user directory which the files are expecting (old_username %localappdata%), then what edits do I make to the database?

I've seen some users experience the issue you described of it changing directories after the fact. But I don't have enough info to base a hypothesis on besides "just Windows things".
Your idea for not having to modify data should work, though.
I see, thank you for explaining. This must be what happened - perhaps I installed Jellyfin as administrator but later ran the update(s) not as administrator and it carried on that way. Strange, though, I thought all of these application installers require administrator rights to run in the first place.
