If you are ever in the situation where you need to move a large number of files in Windows and notice that explorer is not responding you can try the move command.
Open a Command Prompt
Windows + R + cmd
Run your move command
C:\> move /y C:\source_directory\*.jpg C:\destination_directory\
Explanation
- /y – Suppresses the prompt to overwrite
- *.jpg – This will move all JPEG images. You can use the same technique for other extensions or all files. *.* or *
