What does "Moved" mean on a Junk Yard file card?

\n

Short answer: "Moved" means the file was relocated — for example to your external drive by Storage Studio — and the card followed it, so opening or copying still works.

\n

It means the file was relocated after you copied it — for example, Storage Studio moved it to your external drive — and the card has followed it to its new home. Opening or copying the card still works, using the new location. Hover the note to see where it is now.

\n

Nothing is wrong and you don't need to do anything.
