Move command no longer moves files

In Bridge CC 2019, the "move" command no longer moves files, it simply copies files. In previous versions, I would right click on a folder, select "Move To...", then select "Choose Folder". This would properly move files from one location to the other (source files in original location would be deleted). Now, that same command just copies the files, leaving the original files in place.

According to this page

https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/view-files-bridge.html

if moving files from one drive to another drive, it will copy instead of move. In previous versions of Bridge it did however actually move. That same page mentions shift-dragging (Windows) or command-dragging (Mac) to initiate the move command between different drives. But what about right-clicking? Is that simply no longer possible?

Dear users,

Please reset your Bridge preferences if you are facing any issues with file operations.

Right click Move or drag and drop should work fine in Bridge CC 2019.

In case you still face issues, please let me know.

Regards,

Abhishek Seth.

I can not get 2024 or 2025 Bridge to "Copt To" or "Move To" commands to work more than a couple times then it stops functioning. I have tried many things. Purging the Cache selection may fix it for the next one or two Moves but then that doesn't work anymore either. Reloading bridge seems to help. But again it stops again after a few Moves. Anyone else have this problem?

I can no longer move pictures from filmstrip in adobe bridge photoshop CS6, using windows. I have been using this option for years, now suddenly it has disappeared when right clicking on photo. The file option in the top menu bar, move to is grayed out. I have reset prefernces as suggested in this thread. Does anyone have a remedy for this problem, other than drag and drop. Thank you

Unfortunately, DRAG AND DROP DOES NOT WORK not the new bridge. Can somebody at Adobe fix this problem/ I tried getting in touch directly but 9 hours later, still nobody got back to me.
