Cutting, copying, and pasting are actions that help us quickly move things around. This can be simple text or entire folders.
Information is Cut or Copied and is temporarily saved on your computer’s Clipboard. The Clipboard is a special section designed specifically for this task.
The Paste action will paste the most recent thing stored to the clipboard.
Cut will tell your computer to delete the content from its original location when pasted.
Copy will simply copy the information and the original content will be retained when you use Paste.
