No one actually answered the question. I bought my first digital camera early 90's it cost me $600.00 for an ugly square box. I have been moving files between cameras and computers for maybe 25 years. I was NOT looking for people telling me how to do it.
I just wanted to see if anyone had an idea why one file always stayed on the memory card. until said card was formatted. Then the next very first pic stayed till the card was again formatted.

Did my answer not satisfy you?

If you’ve been doing this for 25 years, you might be your best source of info. I have years of experience with SD and have never ever run into that problem. As with most computer related issues, trial and error is a good place to start to figure out what’s happening.

Good and simple steps. But I have a question on step 3:
What is the best way, you know, if you have a pc and not a Mac, to compare two folders?
Thank you in advance.

What I do is open the two side by side. Sort them the same, Ctrl a on each to select all, and compare file numbers. You can also compare file names if they are sorted the same side by side.

I have used a number of "methods" to get photos into my file system and off my camera card. This year I began using Adobe Bridge (part of the Adobe Photography Subscription @ the cost of a supersized burger meal per month). In the Get media dialog, it will do basically 5 things for me:
1) Copy photographs to a designated location ( on my desktop, I store originals on a 10TB external)
2) rename those photos (Barbie and Kens wedding - xxxx)
3) write the original file name in the exif information
4) copy the file to a second location ( I use the µsoft cloud as I know there are at least 3-4 images of my files in 3-4 locations around the world!)
5) when the above four are complete, it politely requests permission to delete from the SDXC Card
FTR; my photos are stored by year; by month; by date and edited photos are restored in a monthly playground folder

You were answered! You are probably copying (which you should be doing). This leaves the files on the card until you format.
no sir , I received answers most have nothing to do with the actual question.
That question is why does the first pic on the card stay on the card. I move the pix to the hard drive but the very first pic stays on the camera. ( and is also put on the hard drive) The only way to remove that first pic is to format he card.

Which, I believe, was stated. Once you have proven that you have all your photos on your drive and backed up, format the card in the camera. They really should ALL be on the card still. You should be copying, not moving. If you move, and the file gets corrupted, you have lost it. If you copy it, you still have it, untill you format.
