    Files gone after cut/paste then undo (control+z)

    I seem to have lost my files after doing the following steps. Is there a way for me to find the files?

    • I created a new folder in "Pictures" called "MomsPhone" C:\Users\willj\Pictures\MomsPhone
    • I selected the picture files from the android phone's DCIM folder, right clicked and chose "Cut"
    • Right clicked in the "MomsPhone" folder and chose "Paste"
    • In the "Pictures" directory, pressed control+z (undo)
    After the above the "MomsPhone" directory is gone, the only folder in "Pictures" that was created today is "New folder" which is empty. The files from the original device (pictures from android phone's DCIM folder) are also gone (result of the cut/paste)

    Edit: I use a Windows 10 HP with a Samsung SSD

    you can do this on android anyway, my regular boring old NAS does this with my phone.


    ES file explorer -> homepage shortcut to NAS 'photos' folder, cut and paste my DCIM folders contents across once a week.

    windows 10 cut and paste photos from folders

    Hi,

    If you are referring to the option "cut and paste photos" in photo gallery.

    There is no option to cut and paste photos to folders using photo gallery or photo app.

    But you can right click on the photo, copy the photo and paste it on other folder. once you done, you can delete the photo from the photo gallery.

    If you want to cut and paste photos from one folder to another, follow the steps below.

    - Right click on the photo and select 'cut'.

    - Go to the location were you want to paste, right click and select paste.

    Hope this information helps.

    Regards,

    Guru Kiran
