batch file - how do i fix: 'access denied' with the move command in windows 7?

Question

Hi there i'm using the windows 7 'move' command like so:

move /Y "C:old.sub.folderfolder.i.want.to.move" "F:
ew.sub.folderfolder.i.want.to.move"

and i keep getting an 'accessed denied' error yet i have full permissions and the folder i'm trying to move isn't open or being uses?

a random example trying to move one empty folder to another: http://puu.sh/2Rx6b.png

Or you could try robocopy with /MOVE argument:

robocopy C:oldfolder F:
ewfolder /E /MOVE
