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

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.

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