# Working with folders and files

## Creating folders and files

3. Click the New button and select New File or New Folder from the drop down menu.

1. Type in the name of the new resource in the slideout, and either press Enter or click Submit. Press the Esc key to abort creating the resource if you change your mind.

## Deleting folders and files

1. Go to the Navigator page.
2. Select the files and folders to delete.
3. Press the Delete key, or select Delete from the Actions drop down menu.

## Renaming folders and files

1. Go to the Navigator page.
2. Select the file or folder to rename.
3. Press the Rename key (usually F2), or select Rename from the Actions drop down menu.

## Copying and moving folders and files

There are two methods available for copying files in Orion. The first method uses the clipboard:

1. Select the files and folders to copy
2. Hit Ctrl+C to copy the list of files
3. Browse to the folder you want to copy into. Hit Ctrl+V to paste the files into this folder

You can also copy and move files using menu commands.

1. Select the files and folders to copy or move
2. Select Copy to or Move to from the Actions menu
3. Select a destination from the sub-menu, or click Choose folder to pick a different destination.

Hint: Create a Favorite for any folder you frequently copy or move files into. Favorites are always displayed as destinations in the Copy to and Move to menus, so this saves you some extra navigation to select your destination folder.
