What does "couldn't be undone because of a conflict" mean after a roll back?

Short answer: Something new now sits at those items' original places, and rolling back would overwrite it — so they stayed safely on the drive. Move the new item aside and undo again.

Most items were put back, but for some, something new now exists in the original place — a file or folder with the same name that wasn't there when the move happened. Rolling back would overwrite it, so Storage Studio left those items safely on your drive instead.
