Indexed searches displaying incorrect locations after moving files
I have an old External HDD connected through USB I'm trying to organize (used to be my main HDD). I decided to let the drive Index over night so my searches would go quicker. However, I noticed that after moving several of the files to a different folder the searches are now displaying the original folder locations and have not updated to reflect the file moves.
My question is: How long does it take for Windows Indexer to realize a file has been move on a HDD connected via USB? I waited over night and searches are still returning the incorrect locations.
I decided to remove the HDD from the Index list, and suffer the slower searches. As I suspected, the file locations are now correctly reflecting where they actually are, but I would really like to utilize Indexed searches as they are much faster.
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
