Cut and paste stopped half way through

[Guest]

Hi,
My friend wanted to move a folder from her desktop onto a network mapped
drive. She right clicked on the folder on her desktop and clicked Cut, then
went to the location on the network drive and right clicked and clicked paste
- it went about half way through and then a message popped up saying there is
not enough disk space available - she then clicked OK to this message and was
left with half the contents of the folder on her desktop and it deleted the
other half that had been copied on the shared network drive. She tried
straight after to right click and select PASTE to a different location but
the PASTE option was greyed out? Is there any way to get this information back
Regards

This operation will only work with COPY and paste. Did she look for the
data on the network drive?

Yeah she looked for the data but nothing there. After she pressed OK to the
message about there wasnt enough space it started deleting what it had
started pasting on the network drive

When the paste part of the operation doesn't happen, the original cut goes
back to normal. Meaning to say, the folder should still be there - where it
was before the cut. I have seen this done for years.
