Transferring and Deleting files

[FlunderBuster]

If I have transferred files from my nvme drive to my HDD for bulk storage I assume its safe to then delete those files from my nvme drive

I thought this is self explanatory. But yes.

I would assume so yes.

Assuming everything went fine without any errors?

I know it should be but I'm a big baby when it comes to files being deleted

Can you do a check first? at least a basic check of the following first, since I'm guessing you just used copy/paste.

- Folder/File count of before an after. Do they match?

- Open up some random files, at least 0.01% of them should give you an idea. (I don't know how many, so 0.01% could still be like 100 files)

- You can skip file size, since we don't know cluster size, and the file sizes could be different between drives.

 

If the simple tests passed, then you should be ok. But really where are your backups? If the files are that important then a good backup should exist in at least two locations.
