Moving folders · Messages and problems
What does "A link was left behind, but it points somewhere unexpected" mean?
Short answer: After the move, Storage Studio found a link at the original place that doesn't lead into the new copy — something else replaced it, or it was already linked elsewhere. Nothing was deleted. Check the link with Show Original in Finder before doing anything else.
It means Storage Studio checked the original place after a move and found a link, but not one leading into the copy it just made — for example something else replaced it, or the folder was linked elsewhere before. Nothing was deleted.
Check where the link leads (right-click it in Finder and choose Show Original). If it's a link you created yourself, that folder wasn't a good candidate for moving — leave it. If you're unsure, use Contact Support in the app and include the move's details.
