Windows 10: Can I move my documents folder to another drive and not have the files copy to the original...

I need to move my documents folder to another drive but when I move it, it "copies" to the original drive. I am extremely frustrated by this since I don't have a lot of storage in my C: drive. Is there anyway I can not have this happen? If there is a way how do I stop this. I am on windows 11 and version 21H2. Thank you for taking the valuable time out of your day to read and potentially help me. If others are having this problem I hope there answer can be solved too.

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

Issue was the above, so thanks temp02.

 

One Drive files are not in syunc with same file in document folder

I recently copied some specific files from document folder to one drive. Under settings for one drive I selected 'account' then clicked on 'choose files' and in pop up window clicked on 'files not in folders' and then clicked on 'ok'.

I updated a file in document folder but it did not sync up with the copy in one drive folder.

Have I missed a step?
