I accidentally moved a large folder into another folder. When I try to move it back it is giving an error message that says "folder is locked by another operation".

Hi Ryan,

Welcome to the Box Community! I'm happy to help.

Content is normally locked during folder/file operations(like move or copy). It depends on how large the files are.  The file count is of more importance than file size. For now, I would recommend to wait and then try again later.

Best,
