Editing Media Transfer Protocol (section)

==== File move behavior ====
In the implementation of MTP used by Windows Explorer, files from a selection [[File operation|moved]] out of a mobile device's storage, perhaps with the goal of freeing up space, are not deleted individually from the source after each file, but instead the entire selection becomes deleted at once from the source only after the transfer has finished.

As a result, file moves aborted untimely, whether manually or unexpectedly, will not have freed up any space on the source device.<ref>{{cite web |last1=guenni |title=Windows 10 has an MTP problem with Android devices {{!}} Born's Tech and Windows World |url=https://borncity.com/win/2017/08/30/windows-10-has-an-mtp-problem-with-android-devices/ |website=borncity.com |date=August 30, 2017 |access-date=October 27, 2020 |archive-date=October 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027200000/https://borncity.com/win/2017/08/30/windows-10-has-an-mtp-problem-with-android-devices/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Leonhard |first1=Woody |title=Don't use Windows 10 to move data on your Android phone |url=https://www.computerworld.com/article/3221331/dont-use-windows-10-to-move-data-on-your-android-phone.html |website=Computerworld |language=en |date=August 31, 2017 |access-date=October 27, 2020 |archive-date=October 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027200156/https://www.computerworld.com/article/3221331/dont-use-windows-10-to-move-data-on-your-android-phone.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
