Did you copy the file or move it? Since those are two different actions

#

Copying cannot cause issues to the original copied files, moving can delete the original files in case there is any interruption

oh thats why, at first i tried moving it and i stopped it right at the beginning literally cuz i thought i might lose the file, but after that the file was still here and it disappeared when i tried to paste it, but it might have corruped when i moved it

#

that sucks so bad
