Apps · Drive, safety and recovery

Why did an app fail to move, and what should I do?

Short answer: Click the failed row to see the plain-English reason and the fix — often the app was opened, the drive was unplugged or full, or the copy didn't verify. Your original app is kept safe.

Click the failed row — Storage Studio shows the reason in plain English and what to do next. Common causes:

  • the app was opened during the move — quit it and try again;
  • the fast drive was disconnected or is full;
  • the copy didn't match the original, so the move was rolled back;
  • something else is now at the app's location and Storage Studio won't overwrite it.

Whatever the reason, your original app is kept safe.
