Troubleshooting & messages · Moves and copies that didn't finish
What does "Move halted for safety — the source path didn't pass a safety check" mean?
Short answer: Storage Studio checks the original's location is safe to clear before removing it. This one didn't pass, so nothing was deleted — your original is untouched.
Before Storage Studio clears the original after a move, it checks that the original's location is somewhere it's safe to clear — never a system folder or the top of a disk. This location didn't pass, so it stopped and deleted nothing.
The copy at the destination is kept; your original is untouched. If you were moving something unusual (a whole disk, a system area), that's expected. Otherwise, contact support with the folder name.
