Moving pictures to new folders
If you’ve expanded the folder system to include subfolders as outlined in the previous task, you can move your pictures into them to organize them. At the present time, you can’t drag photos into these folders, so here you’ll learn how to cut and paste to move them. However, be careful when cutting pictures; when you cut a picture it is stored temporarily on a virtual “clipboard” and it’ll stay there until you opt to paste it elsewhere, which you should do immediately and before you cut or copy something else.
