    I usually move files to from my desktop to a folder. And after about a few hours that file appears back on my desktop. And then it says could not find item when you try to delete or move it.

    Desktop folders Move function

    Clicking in the title bar of any folder on the desktop shows a list of functions - Restore, Move, Size, Minimize etc. When I right click on the title bar and select Move, the Move icon appears but it's not clear what to then do with it to actually make
    the folder move. Movint the icon to another part of the desktop doesn't do anything. What else is required to move the folder using the Move function?

    Move Location of Desktop Folder in Windows 10


    Never mind:

    I have just deleted my manually created "Desktop" folder on the target drive and then moved it with the steps in your tutorial. I answered the question "target folder doesn't exist, create new?" with yes and voilà, the icon appears as expected.
