I can find the original location of a file I have moved very easily using program called TeraCopy Pro. TeraCopy Pro, which is a my preferred file manager. When I open TeraCopy Pro, I see a list on the left side of the screen showing my file history for the past three days. I was just trying to recall the original location of a file I moved a few hours ago, so I opened TeraCopy Pro and could immediately see that I moved the file t from M:\01\01\Software - Laptop\5kPlayer (a subdirectory on an external drive) to C:\01\Software.
To copy or move folders or files using TeraCopy Pro, I open Windows Explorer and choose one or more folders or files to copy or move. When I click on copy or move, I get the option to use the native Windows file manager or TeraCopy Pro. I use TeraCopy because it does not change the dates and times of folders or files I copy or move.
I hope that is helpful.
