> [!NOTE]
> Starting with .NET Core 3.0, the `Move` method throws an <xref:System.IO.IOException> in all platforms when the `destDirName` already exists. In .NET Core 2.2 and previous versions, the exception was only thrown on Windows, and other platforms could either fail or overwrite the `destDirName`. See [C++ rename](https://linux.die.net/man/2/rename).


## Examples
The following example demonstrates how to move a directory and all its files to a new directory. The original directory no longer exists after it has been moved.
