Send to "move"

[Terry]

Can I make a send to command that will move instead of copy files to
another drive?

I have seen instances were something happened during a move, and both the
moved files and original files were lost. I prefer to use copy, then when
the copy is successful delete the source files.

See this link for how to do it.

And the side-effects of that method (especially when multiple files are selected):
