About this tag
The merge folders tag on WindowsForum.com covers user questions about Windows file management, specifically when the operating system prompts to merge folders during cut-and-paste or move operations. A common issue involves unexpected merge dialogs, such as when moving a folder named 'PG' into a destination that Windows claims already contains a folder named 'General', even when no such folder appears to exist.

The tag is relevant for users encountering merge folder dialogs in Windows 7 and later versions, seeking explanations and solutions for unexpected merge behavior.
