Problems with deleting or moving are <br>
possible under Windows if the image folders are part of a network share or are <br>
opened by other external programs. The image foldesr should be in your user <br>
directory. Problems can arise on the system drive C:\ outside of the user <br>
directory because digiKam is not a signed app. <br>
