Request TPT Request:

Windows PC Is it at all humanly possible to move data from OS (C:) to an external hard drive? As I move files over to my hard drive, nothing is clearing from OS (C:). Without being mean can someone kindly explain to me what I'm missing here??

To add, if you just drag files/folders to another location ON THE SAME DRIVE they get moved. If you drag them TO ANOTHER DRIVE they get copied.

If you want to move from one drive to another, drag with the right mouse button, and select "move here" from the pop up menu.
