Move function from File Manager does not move folders, only files within them
I was recently moving some folders between directories using the asustor file manager and noticed that files within folders have been moved to new location and in proper folder names, however the old folders remained empty and were not moved/deleted... anyone else noticed having the same issue?

I just tried it. The function is working fine. I moved shared_folder_1\test folder to shared_folder_2. "test" folder and those files under it are moved to shared_folder_2. Did you do the same?

After that move, did you successfully remove the remaining folders ?

Re: Move function from File Manager does not move folders, only files within them
that's correct, the files and folders get moved.. now go back and look at shared_folder_1\test... when you successfully move a folder, old one was supposed to be removed.. for me, I did a move of 85 folders.. so new location did have proper folder names and files under it, however my old location ended up with 85 empty folders.. those folders should of been removed after a successful move function..orion wrote:I just tried it.

UPDATE:
So I just did a reboot on the NAS and tried this again and it worked this time around.. not sure what happened there, but the reboot seems to have fixed it..
