Do you understand that -
1.) Filesystems contain directories/folders that contains files and
possibly yet more directories/folders?
2.) Files/Folders have names. Multiple objects in the same folder can't
have the same name.
3.) Files have some other attributes that aren't contents but are
information ABOUT the file, like: created time, last modified time,
owner, permissions, etc... (What is called meta-data, information
ABOUT the data). Not that you understand what all the attributes mean
or are for, but that they exist on every file/folder but are not PART OF
the file/folder.
4.) The difference between move and copy. In the latter you duplicate
to a new location or name or both, and the the former the origin ceases
to exist and the same content then exists in a different location and/or
under a different name.
Seriously.
