and then try again. To free up space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click Disk Cleanup."

That's why it won't copy, but the idiots at Microsoft don't tell you that in the error message. Instead, they send you on a wild goose chase deleting disk space. To find out if the target disk is formatted as FAT32, click My Computer right click the drive look at the Properties, which should say FAT32 or NTFS If this helped, please email me!

Also, are you trying to move a file to a system folder? If so, you usually need to use Explorer (drag and drop) to avoid misleading error messages related to permissions. –jww Nov 13 '14 at 16:44 @Dave - I tried to drag and drop a shortcut from one folder to another on the same hard drive and same partition. My guess would be that it is somehow related to some mixed up privileges. It's not the first time I see this problem on Win8.1. I am logged in as admin on the system, but sometimes Windows prev
