On your good advice @clee01l I am organizing with collections and dispensing with folders for my moth taxonomy project.
As I drag & drop photos from Windows 10 sub-folders back into my 2020 folder WITHIN LrC (& deleting the unused folders), I keep getting the message "File already exists at the destination."
So, I used a dupe finder app to search my "Insect" folders & sub-folders for duplicates and deleted ALL duplicates (all two of them). Apparently Lightroom, or more likely Windows, is creating duplicates of a few of the photos out of each large batch that I'm moving.
I think it might have to do with a lag in Windows refreshing the folders.
If anyone has experienced and solved this, I'd love to hear it. Currently I am searching for the duplicates by name, deleting the dupe then synchronizing the LrC folders. Again & again & again.
*sigh*
