I purchased a thru-the-wall A/C unit that runs 115V to replace an out
A/C and didn't realized the old ran on 230V. Is there an easy way to
convert the 230V outlet to 115V?

sure, replace the double pole breaker in your breaker box with a
corresponding amp rating single pole breaker. (never go bigger unless
you are sure that the wire gauge is acceptable to use with the breaker
you are proposing to use) Connect the black wire to the new breaker,
connect the white wire to the neutral bus. Replace the receptacle with
a 115V receptacle. Cover the hole in your breaker panel's cover. Et voila.
