Can move SharePoint list items to folders in a list, but not back to root of list with Move To
Does anybody know if this is by decision or bug..?
I created a SharePoint list for inventory and created 2 folders for private items (unique permissions on folders) to hide list items at certain times of the year. I tried to move them back OUT of the folder to the root of the list, but it does not allow me to do so. See screenshot on the bottom shows Move Here button is disabled on root of list.. attached is screenshot only when in folders..
My workaround would be to create another folder called public and inherit permissions from a list, set all views to show No Folders and move from private to public, but thought I 'should' be able to move back out to root of list...
- Same. I tried using Power Automate as well - I could pretty easily create a new item with the same values, but couldn't copy/move a list item, or update the path. Hopefully someone else chimes in to help you.

- Thank you, just wanted to make sure it wasn't me 🙂
In SPO , open the folder. Select the item and drag it to the path above the list. A simple drag and drop.
- I had the same issue and this worked for me. Thank you!
