Hello,

I am using Lightroom Classic and recently starting having this error message below when trying to move some images to a different folder.

My folder structure is like this below, and the last time I tried to move some images from 2026 folder to 2025 folder. Then I got the error message.

I'm no PC expert but could someone guide me to a solution?

Looking forward to some advice.

The file already exists at the destination. So you cannot do the move.

Why do you want to do this move if the file already exists? Please explain. If we understood this better, we could certainly suggest an approach.

Indeed it's strange that the error says about copy. I'm trying to move the files to the correct location, not copying them.

Yes I saw that, I originally thought you were doing a copy, but its clear you are doing a move. So I amended my post, please provide the information requested.
