    Two document folders each contain same files


    Two document folders each contain same files [​IMG]

    I don't know how it happened, but I have 2 document folders and each contain the same files. The same thing happened recently to my picture folder, but in this case one folder shows the camera roll and a folder with saved pics and the other shows saved pics open (gallery of pics). Is there any way to get rid of one of these document folders without deleting the files?

    :)

    Very slow data transfer speeds Windows 10 PC to Windows 7 PC

    Hi,

    The speed when transferring data through network may vary depending on the size of each files. For example,
    if you try to copy a folder containing document files with more than 1 GB space. Then it might take longer time to copy the document folder as compared to copying a folder containing a video file.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Compacting folders

    The University IT dept. transferred everything from my old PC to my new Dell w/Windows 10. I now have 3 main folders each of which contains some of my documents, files, photos, etc. How can I transfer two of them into one, so I will have everything in
    one folder?
