[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1600010, member: 46727"] That's occurring because instead of moving or copying the files, you're creating aliases instead. If you delete the original file, the alias will likewise be deleted. If you want to copy a file from one folder to another, highlight the file, hold down your option key, and drag the file to the new location. That will make a copy and you can delete the original.
