Managing Your Files

Let’s Learn

Using multiple storage devices.
A computer can have many storage devices connected to it. We might need to copy or move files
from one drive to another. This can be done by using ‘File Explorer’.
The commands we use to copy or move a file are the same we use for completing these actions
in one single storage device:

Shortcut

Ctrl+X Cut This is used for moving a file.
Ctrl+C Copy This is used for copying a file.

Ctrl+V Paste This is used for placing a file in another folder.

Ctrl+Z Undo This is used to cancel an action we just made. Z
