I'm curious about this cause it happened to my file. It was an installer that I was moving from the desktop to another Local Disk. I let the operation complete while I was doing some other stuff in the background. So I pressed Ctrl Z for the hopes of undoing my permanently delete mistake, unfortunately its unrecoverable (the one I was doing in the background), but suddenly it undid the Move operation, now it goes back to the desktop. I cancelled the operation without it reaching 10%. The remnants are still present at the desktop. So I moved it again and confirmed the merge folder request. What I'm asking is that did the whole thing broke some files because I cancelled the move operation while at progress, but I moved it again, so I am thinking like I reattached a joint or something.
 
The Move function is actually Copy/Delete. It copies to the new location, and then deletes fromth e old.

Is it all on the new location?

Personally, I always Copy. Then manually delete when all is done.
 
Actually, the process was finished moving from desktop to local disk. Until I pressed Ctrl Z that made it undo, so it moved again from the local disk to desktop. However I cancelled it, but it left some files on the desktop. I moved it again to the local disk to merge it with it. Since the move process was stopped, will it break the affected files on its process? I'm thinking that some bytes will be missing on the cancellation, so I moved the files again back to them.
 


It shouldn't break anything.
 
What if the move process was done like halfway for a single file, assume that a file is 1 gigabyte in size, then got cancelled at 50% moving process, so there's half on the original location and there's half on the destination? Will it still work as it should if I "reunite" its half to the other half after cancelling its move?
 


As said...the 'Move' function is actually Copy/Paste/Delete.
Doing again should just overwrite any bits that ended up at the target.
 


Thanks dude, you've calmed my nerves today. Great information to share!
