Files get deleted when cut/pasting

[strider5236]

So when I connect my phone to my PC and enable file transfer, I try and copy or cut and paste files and it doesn't work. Yesterday I created a new folder where my pictures are stored by default. I then copied and pasted the pics from the main folder to the new one and it went through the motions but didn't display any. I refreshed and still nothing. I backed out of the directory and the folder said it was empty but so was my main pic folder. So it basically deleted everything instead of pasting them in the new folder. Is there an easy fix to this? Never had this issue with my note 3 and 4. Or any other phone for that matter. Is there like a Read/Write command to turn on or something? Seams like a pretty big flaw to not be able to cut paste files and they just get deleted....

Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated,

Never had any issues like this, both on encrypted and decrypted data. Try flashing the userdata again and see if the issue still persist.
Also, have you checked for the pics in Recycle Bin?

If it helps, I am not rooted and completely stock. How would I go about finding the recycling bin?

I have the same issue with my OP5 (decrypted)

Have you tried copy pasting?

Mine worked well when I did it (encrypted).

Just drag and drop, don't copy so much, try one folder at a time instead.

Also I'd never use cut and paste, if it fails you could end up in limbo with files missing.

Always copy.

You were moving pics from your PC to the phone, were you not?
Windows moves the files to Recycle Bin when you cut-paste.

No, just moving files from one folder to another within the phone. Just using the PC to play middle man to issue the command.

I am not concerned about the files as I have a backup. What concerns me is that the OP5 does this to begin with. I have had several iphones and several Samsung phones and never encountered this issue. That is a design flaw within the software. I was hoping to get an answer as to if this can be fixed or if it is just a flaw with OP5's operating system. Just seems odd this phone does that.

It doesn't happen to everyone. So we can't really talk about a design flaw in the software, otherwise it would affect every device. It's more like a random bug I guess.
As I said, when I got this device I successfully copied my files. Granted, it did seem to have missed a few files (2 Titanium Backup backuped files) and possibly more I did not notice so far.

I've noticed dodgy OTG on the O+5 never had it in a phone before

Because the copying is done by the operating system of your PC, shouldn't there be the problem? The phone is just connected by the internal storage as an external drive. Or is this a driver thing?

Well to me, bugs are inherently design flaws. lol But I don't want to argue semantics. I would just like to find a fix to this "design flaw"/bug. I can understand having a few files deleted or not transferred. But every single file that was selected, cut and pasted? That is just frustrating beyond belief. I just don't get why it does that to begin with. Never encountered this issue with any other phone I have done this same procedure with. I have no issues with transferring files from the pc to the phone. The problem is encountered when I am trying to do things with the internal storage. That is what is confusing me.

@strider5236, tried doing it again on decrypted data using Windows 10 and and Ubuntu 14.04. Moved with no issues. Encrypted data then did it again. No issues still.
Have you tried flashing the userdata image like I initially suggested?

Can that be done on a stock, non rooted phone? If so, how do I go about that? Would odin be needed?

LOL. No, we aren't using a Samsung device. I'll send you the steps in a PM.

That would be great thank you.

There seems to be a bug in the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) between Android and Windows 10. It loses files while copying.
