open a terminal, make your self root and just "move" it:

su -
mv /home /home5

if you want to move directories "in" your /home/ dir, you don't need to
be root, but on rh the /home/ dir is owned by UID/GID root/root

I don't think you are compromising the data with "mv" unless you don't
move it to /dev/null   :o)

Just a friendly advice:
You should consider to leave the GUI-Tools alone and get deeper into the
unix-terminal.
...the shell rules!!!
