I'm trying to use the System.IO.File.Replace();

and this is what it returns:

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:


this is the code:
C#
System.IO.File.Replace(v.FullName, temppathmoment + @"MinecraftTMP\" + v.Name, temppathmoment + @"MinecraftBackUP\");


any ideas why?

It looks like you forgot to specify the filename in the third parameter (I assume you want to use v.Name).

Windows probably still thinks the file handle is open. Try rebooting your system and run your program again.
