How to cut a file from my USB drive and paste it elsewhere in Finder on Mac OS X 10.6.8? When I click Cmd-X to try and cut the file on my USB drive so I can paste it elsewhere and free up space on my USB, it does nothing, and when I Ctrl-click it only gives the option to copy the file, not cut it.

Use CmdC to copy, then OptCmdV to paste in a new location and delete from the original location.
