Hello,
my hard drive consists of 2 disks C and D, the first is full and the second could receive a large folder of 100 GB.
Can I move it from C to D without risk, and if so, how do I do it?
Thank you for your response.
GK.

Hello,

If it's not a system folder or a program folder, no problem moving it.

Right-click on your folder and choose "copy", then open your D drive and right-click on it and choose "paste".

Once the transfer is finished, right-click on your original folder (on C: therefore) and choose delete.

For your information: NEVER use "cut" when moving from one disk/partition to another disk/partition: in case of a crash you could lose data.

And check that everything has been transferred properly (by file size and number of files) before deleting the source folder.

Oui, il existe une différence entre un dossier original et une copie. Le dossier original est le document ou le fichier initial, tandis que la copie est une reproduction de cet original. La copie peut être créée pour des raisons de sauvegarde, de partage ou de distribution. En général, l'original et la copie peuvent contenir les mêmes informations, mais le statut d'originalité appartient toujours au dossier original.

Thank you very much for your advice; indeed, I was using CUT PASTE.
I will try COPY PASTE and then return to the file and DELETE.
Thanks again for this valuable advice!
