Troubleshooting & messages · Moves and copies that didn't finish

What should I do when it says there wasn't enough room on the destination drive?

Short answer: The destination drive filled up before the copy finished. Your original is untouched — free space on the drive (or use a bigger one) and run the move again.

The drive you're moving to filled up before the copy finished. Your original is safe and untouched — Storage Studio only removes it after a complete, checked copy.

### What to do 1. Free some space on the destination drive, or pick a larger drive. 2. Remember the drive needs room for the whole folder plus a little margin. 3. Run the move again.

If the drive is meant to hold everything you move, consider a larger external SSD. See external drives.
