I am moving folders on OneDrive (using the web) from OneDrive folder to another OneDrive folder (web) 

 

However in [www.onedrive.live.com] it has been on “moving 77 items” for the last 3 hours!


Moved from: Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

Microsoft 365 and Office | OneDrive | For home | Windows

    Hello Andrea Ferns

    I can see that you are having trouble with moving folder between OneDrive

    Here are what you can do:

    Please open OneDrive in a new browser tab and check both the original and destination folders. The progress message may be stuck even if some or all items have already moved.

    • If the files are in the destination folder, refresh the page and avoid starting the move again.
    • If only some items moved, move the remaining items in smaller batches.
    • Check the OneDrive Recycle Bin before deleting or repeating anything.
    • Close any affected files that may still be open on another device, since open files can interfere with OneDrive processing. A large number of files, large individual files, or a slow connection can also prolong processing.

    If the folder contents still do not update, try signing out of OneDrive, reopening the browser in a private/incognito window, and signing in again.

    I hope the files complete their move safely.

    Feel free reply back to this post if you need further support, I'll be happy to help.
