    MOVE A FOLDER IN WINDOWS EXPLORER WHEN THE MOVE ICON IS DIMMED OUT (i.e. INACTIVE)


    I want to move the OneDrive folder. I'm doing this as the Administrator of my personal PC. I'm using WINDOWS 10-1803. the PC is fully up-to-date with all updates.

    • I've selected the OneDrive folder. I confirmed that I have full read/write access to the folder (and drive).
    • Yet, the MOVE icon in the menu bar is "dimmed out", making it inaccessible.
    • I have the procedure from the Community on how to move the OneDrive Folder.
    • Given what I've written, why does Windows persist in disallowing the MOVE feature to operate?

    Thanks in advance.
