how did she attempt to hide her username?

Maliciously.

Kidding aside, she attempted to hide the picture, not the username itself. This in turn caused a Streisand effect that led to people easily tracking her down and doxxing her.

At least that's how I understood it 🤷

It seems like by detaching her current username from it, the name that was originally on the post tagging her appeared as it did originally, anyways that is what it seems like to me. Nice try lol 😂
