File management — IGCSE Information And Communication Technology (0417) questions by topic
File management questions test practical organising skills: naming a generic file extension for an image type, listing ways to transfer files to the cloud, creating a named folder and displaying its contents with file names and dimensions shown, or rotating and cropping an image before saving it correctly. Give, state and describe want short factual answers, while produce directs the hands-on folder and file-editing steps.
Just 7 questions from 2023 to 2025 sit here, worth between 1 and 11 marks, making this a compact but exacting topic where a wrongly typed file extension or missing folder setting counts. Submitting your practical steps for instant marking catches a mislabelled file or skipped display setting straight away, before it affects every later task depending on that folder.
