If I'm correct, you've got two options: You can either leave it on your desktop or create a new folder in /Users and populate it with your data.

Whether I am on a wild goose chase or not, Get Info on the unmovable Data might yield information on WHY the folder is unmovable and lead to a solution that would make it movable.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
