Windows 10: Moving files - not enough room? And One Drive files.

I'm getting a low disc-space message, so I tried to move a folder that's 99.3 GB onto a 2 TB external drive, that has 1.54 TB of free space.Yet when I try to move the whole folder, or just a subfolder, I'm told there's not enough room! How can that be? I'm not a math whiz, but I know that 99 GB should barely make a dent in a 1.5 TB volume.And when I try to move files to the external drive that are also on OneDrive, it tells me that it will delete the files in the cloud, Well, isn't the whole point of cloud storage to save room on your computer's drive? Why are the files duplicated on my physic

Defrag: Move Large Files To End Of Drive?

Hey guys, I saw Defraggler has the option to move large files to the end of the drive, I picked movies (MKV/MP4 etc.)

Is it good to move these large files to the end of the drive? I'm assuming it's for less used files so it doesn't read them as fast or something?

Should I do this or just put it back to normal?

Stored files in Hard Drive

You can use Windows search. Just search for *.* on a desired drive. When list is done just arrange them by size LOL.

You can do it via command line as well and make an output text file showing files and their sizes (but without arrangement)
