Have you broken out the various parts and debugged to see what you are actually passing around. Also, have you checked that the destination doesn't already exist as it suggests...

So please think again about what the message "Cannot create a file when that file already exists" tries to tell you....

Your title says you're moving a file, but you're calling the method to move a directory. Are you sure you didn't mean to call File.Move[^] instead?

The error is self-explanatory? Before you do the move use File.Exists to see if the destination file exists, and if it does delete it
