Files App issue? When moving a file or folder the MOVE option is instead “Copy” anyone else?

Very annoying - Is it just me or is there something Iam missing? Annoying because it adds to my ipad storage.
Any tips - thanks in advance.

Had the same issue with files app iOS11 too though.

    It is by design. It basically copies when the target destination has different ownership or permissions from the source or if the target is another device. Similar to the way dragging files/folders on a desktop works.

    EDIT : it seems to be a issue with Documents App. Tried with few other apps and seems ok ..will check further Is there a way to make Documents App appear in the “on my ipad” location. As of now that and Audioshare are in the sidebar..I might try MOVE haha..
    Lets see what happens

    You will need to copy first, then delete original files to keep your storage usage low.

    Documents and AudioShare are File Provisers. That means that they act like connected disks, so you can only copy, not move. If it helps, a copy on iOS (and Macs using APFS) doesn’t take up any more space until you modify it.

    So, you could keep the same sample in many folders, and it only takes up the space of one sample. If you never mod any of those copies, it’ll stay that way. They’re almost like aliases, in a way.
