Moving folders in LR doesn't work

[elsg41316515]

Hi,

I'm moving my LR folders from a NAS to a external hard disk. Mostly was going well until the moment I pointed some folders to the wrong destination; so I did cancel the transaction. Then I would repeat moving the folders to the right destination but it isn't working because "the folders already exist in the place of destination". This is the error that occur but I don't see the maps there; they are still on the original NAS. Can anyone help me with this?

Kind regards Els

For this type of operation I suggest you don't use LR. I suggest you use the File Manager for your OS and then Relink the folders in LR at there new locations.

In my experience moving file and folders in LR can cause unexpected consequences.
