Move is not deleting files

Post by *semmel »

Hi.

I have been moving files from the SD Card on my Samsung Galaxy S7 to a USB Flash Drive to make room.

My phone is rooted, and I ran the SD card fix. Total Commander can delete files normally when I use Delete.

However, if I select multiple files and choose Move (to the USB Flash Drive), I figured it would copy the files and then delete them from their original location.

But it doesn't seem to be doing that, and it gets kinda tricky trying to find out which files I already copied.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there something I can do to make this work?

Thanks!

Try using the latest beta from the play store, it should support moving from/to SD-card now.

Sorry to report, it didn't work for me...

Running version 2.80b4.

Moving files from SD Card to USB Drive will copy the files, but not delete them after they were copied - at least not on my phone.

When the operation started, it asked about root permissions, and I gave them.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks!

OK, I'm guessing now you'll need details...

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V, Verizon) running Android 4.4.4.

Does it move the files from internal memory (/storage/emulated/0) to USB drive?
