What is happening is that when we copy a file from C# code and paste it, even after that program maintains a link/information to original/copied file. This will not happen to files not copied by program or files already present in your folder.

An alternative of this is to fire copy shell/dos command. A way to do that is present in this article

normal copy command in dos is like

copy originalfilenamewithpath destinationfilenamewithpath.

To know more about copy command go to dos and write copy /? and press enter.
