If you are going to delete a file, why do you need to move it ?

its for update program
and thanks to all my problem fixed with this code
const int ERROR_CANCELLED = 1223; //The operation was canceled by the user.

ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(@"your program name or address.exe");
info.UseShellExecute = true;
info.Verb = "runas";
Process.Start(info);

Create a user which will have the access to C drive and impersonate that user in your config file as below.
<identity impersonate="true" username="Username" password="password">

i know application must run as administrator to it give access but i don't want to do it and i do it in my code how can i do it?

its as good as creating a user on that machine. If you do not have permission to create a user ask your system administrator to create the user and grant it with rights of read and write.

There are 2 ways you can do it.
1) If you start your visual studio in administrator mode it will allow you to create folders and files on windows mounted drive
2) you can add Application Manifest file(app.manifest) file and check the following tag-
<requestedexecutionlevel level="asInvoker" uiaccess="false">
set the "uiAccess=true" so every time your application will executed under admin mode and you will be able to create or operate any files and folders.
