How do I move files from one folder to another in file explorer? It just seems to copy files.

Highlight the files and then right click them and select cut.

Go to the folder you ant and click copy... that should move them.

Hi Beverly,

In file explorer, select that folder you want to move, press Ctrl + X on your keyboard

Navigate to where you want to move that folder to and press Ctrl + V

Does the move or copy the folder?

I always do the Cut and paste or copy and paste.

If moving a folder, right click and select CUT.

Go to destination and right click in windows and select Paste.

If moving all files in a folder, select ALL in top of windows on ribbon and do same procedure.

If moving selected files, then hold down CTRL key and select files to copy or move and follow same process.

In file explorer options View tab, you can select "Use check boxes to select items", APPLY to folders.

Then there is a box on top left corner to select files instead of holding down CTRL key.

Then of course, the top ribbon in explorer, there is the select all, copy to, move to, cut, copy & paste selections you can use.

Hi Beverley.

Open the folder you want to copy files from and highlight them by holding the Ctrl key and selecting them, or from the Home tab choose Select All, press Ctrl + C to copy the group selected.

Now open the folder you want to copy them to, click on an empty area, then press Ctrl + V to copy them there.
