In File Explorer, you can perform many operations related to the files or the folders such as copying and deleting the files or the folders, moving the files to another folder, renaming the files or the folders, and so on.
Managing the files or the folders in File Explorer will also intersect with the paths of the files or the folders indirectly. Simply the path is the location of the file or the folder on the computer. When saving a file, you may create a folder or directory hierarchy one or two levels deeper, but the file and folder system of Microsoft Windows can be in a much deeper hierarchy.

Sometimes you need to know the path of the file or the folder you want to use. If so, you require a little effort to find the path and then record it.
