Creating and Managing Files and Folders

                  Since folders and subfolders are organised following a proper hierarchical file system of any
                  storage device, sometimes they are also called directories or sub-directories. The first directory
                  in the hierarchical system is called root directory and is represented as C:\ or D:\.

                  The folders and files are created within the root directory. To access any file, folder or subfolder
                  we refer to a File Path which allows quick access to a file.
