Can't move any files?

I have this strange problem, I can't move files from one destination to another.

For example:

I have a few files in a folder called New Folder in my documents, I try to drag them out my that folder and directly into my documents so I can remove the folder. But when I drag them into my document it transfers them all but then if I refresh the window it just reverts to its previous location? It does the same when I move from the desktop to any folder.

Please help me fix this, as I have put up with it for weeks now and I'm sick of it. My desktop is too cluttered because I am unable to move files. However If i place everything into a folder on my desktop and then drag the folder to my documents that works but then I can't move them out my folder into my documents, my pictures, my music etc.

I have Windows 8 Operating System 64 Bit. I've removed any recent programs I've installed before getting this error. Please help.

Thanks!

Boot to Safe Mode and see if it works there. Win 8 removed F8 support to get to Safe Mode, but this should work.

Press Windows key + C.
Click Settings then Power
Hold shift key and click RESTART.
Then you have all the options, including Safe Mode.
