Cannot move, copy or delete folders in widows 10 file explorer. I get the message "cannot find item This is no longer located in F:\video. Verify the item's location and try again." Does not matter which drive or which folder, this is always the result. I can however click on the folder, open it and move, copy or delete the files inside the folder. I am then stuck with empty folders all over my computer.

I have been using Windows 10 for a number of months without this issue, just stared happening this morning. Any solutions out there.

Thanks

Not sure, what might be going on.
Have you considered using the native Check Disk utility to examine the drive(s) / partition(s) for problems.
Right click the start button and choose Command Prompt (admin) and in the command prompt window type
chkdsk C: /R (replacing C: as needed to reflect the appropriate drive letter)
hit enter
Answer "Y" when prompted (likely drive C: only)
hit enter
type
exit
hit enter
reboot (for drive C:)
WARNING: Depending on the size and contents of the drive this can take a very long time to complete, do not interrupt it. It may appear to hang a various points, just don't interrupt it.
IF... you have any reason to suspect a problem with the physical drive you may want to back everything up.... sooner rather than later.
