  1. Need help moving files


    Good morning, I have recently started with a new company and I need to move user network access forms into folders with their respective name. The problem is the names that are used for the files all have a different t however the naming convention. However, they all do have the persons name in it.

    For example I need to move “2875_John Doe” into a folder named “Doe, John”. I need to do this for thousands of files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Error: This Process Cannot Be Completed The File Is Open In Windows Explorer when deleting/moving a video file

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We appreciate your effort on this. We understand that when you are trying to delete or move some video files, you get an error, we will look into this for you. However, we would like to know if the issue occurs while deleting/moving any other file.



    We would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below and check if that helps:



    Method 1: Close all background applications



    We would suggest you to check if the file that you are trying to delete/move is open in background. If the file is open, close the file and then try deleting/moving it.



    Alternatively, you can press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open
    Task Manager and look for the applications that you are not using while deleting/moving the file. Right click on them and select
    End Task.



    Method 2: Turn off File preview in File Explorer



    We can try turning off File preview in File Explorer and check if that helps in resolving the issue. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open
      Run
      dialog box.
    2. Type control folders and click on
      OK.
    3. Click on View tab.
    4. Now, select the checkbox for Always show icons, never thumbnails.
    5. Click on OK.


    Method 3: Safe Mode



    If Turning off File preview doesn’t help, I would suggest you to boot the computer into Safe Mode and check if you are able to delete/move the file. Refer the steps mentioned in the article

    Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10
    .



    Let us know the results.



    Regards,
