    Copies of files I save or create on my hard drive are appearing on my desktop automatically. I am having to manually delete them as they create clutter. Anyone dealt with this?

    :)

    Hi Hankriegler,

    I would suggest you to follow the steps below:


    • Press Windows key + X.

    • Click file explorer from the list.

    • Select the CD/DVD drive and hit Enter.

    • Select the files you want to copy from the CD/DVD, then select the drive where you want to paste or save.
    I hope the information is helpful.

    Thank you.

  3. Disk / file copy issue

    Hi Bob,

    It seems that the large folder that you moved to the external hard drive has appeared to be the main video folder. To isolate this case, we suggest that you create a new folder on the external hard drive first before copying/moving any files/folders.

    By the way, we would like to ask the following information to help us sort out and address the issue:

    • What's the make and model of your hard drive?
    • Have you tried safely removing and reconnecting your hard drive from your PC?

    In the meantime, please create a new folder on the external hard drive first, then try copying/moving a file/folder and see if it saves on the folder you specified.

    Let us know the result.

    Regards.
