Folders not moving for personal user

I'm trying to tidy up my projects and folders before the new restrictions kick in. While many folders will move, others will not.

Example: folder with two files, one being a design and the second being a drawing created from the design. Try to move folder or the drawing and I get a "Cannot move the selected file" error. The design will move on its own but I can find no way to move the drawing..

Previous posts on similar topics mention about saving the drawing to a .f3z file, but that isn't an option for personal users.

More complex folders have a number of individual parts with associated drawing plus sub assemblies and assemblies.

I just want to move the folders between projects, keep what is good and dump the dross.

Any suggestions?

A little more information on the problem and some partial fixes.

1) If there are design files in the top level of a project and these use other parts, they will not move. If however they are moved to within a folder in the project, that folder can be moved to another project and the designs then moved within that project.

2) If there are drawings in a folder, it is impossible to move the folder to another project. This would therefore seem to be a bug. Can anyone else repeat this behaviour.

A response from AutoDesk would be helpful.
