Moving Assets/Folders

Serious question: How do I move around folders of assets in the editor without f***ing up my whole project?

Every time I move folders, some assets simply stay where they were. So, basically I have to browse all the empty folders for left-over assets. And those folders won’t go away until I delete their counterparts from the windows explorer… When I try to “fix up redirectors” afterwards, they usually just stay, too. Next time I start up the project, I can count on getting errors for broken references or missing files. Sometimes assets actually disappeared completely after I moved them and restarted the project. I mean wth?? Is there a reason these things are happening? I can’t believe something so fundamental could be so utterly broken in UE4.
