Maybe 'move' is interpreted as 'copy'?
Once you're sure your pics are safe on your laptop AND on your backup, you can delete them from your phone.

I connected the phone to a laptop using the cable and the usual pop-up appeared so I selected 'Browse content' and proceeded to transfer pics to the Laptop.
Laptop is Win 7. Itunes installed.
Two explorer windows opened side-by-side. One is the phone's content the other My Laptop.
I selected all the pics, right-clicked and dropped them
into the laptop. >> I selected ...Move'.
The transfer went beautifully but when i checked the phone's hdd capacity it hadn't budged a bit.
