flashh4 Report post Posted July 21, 2017 Seems like i read about this a few weeks ago or something like it. They just went back & deleted the file after the transfer was complete or something to that effect !! I don't work a lot with problems of this nature mostly Malware is what i specialize in !! Hope you get the solution figured out !! Chuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hpg3 Report post Posted July 21, 2017 OK, thanks Chuck. I seem to remember in Windows, you hold a key or two, like the crtl and alt to move a file. but that did not work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Report post Posted July 22, 2017 I think you click the 1st file to be removed then hold the CTRL and ALT while clicking the other files to be removed !! Hope that will help !! Chuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hpg3 Report post Posted July 22, 2017 Actually, I just want to move them to another folder. they are a string of DAT files. I should just leave them alone but there are probably 30 or more. thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baker7 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Good Morning hpg3: to move files is easy, you just have to decide whether you want to copy them and paste them, keeping the originals in place, or cut them and paste them to MOVE them from one folder to another. All you would have to do is: 1. Hold down control key, and while doing this, LEFT Click on all files that you want to move to the SD Card. 2. When you have all of these files selected (BLUE HILIGHTED) RIGHT Click in an open area of the screen, and select "cut" If you do that, you will MOVE the files from one location to another location WITHOUT keeping the original file. 3. Now, open the drive you want to move the files to in File Explorer, and then select "paste" and then all the files selected will be moved from one drive to another Hope this helps!
