在Windows中移动文件夹覆盖目标文件夹

Question

I am trying to move a folder to a location where this folder already exists. So basically I want to overwriting it without prompting yes or no.

Below is the directory structure-

C:\TEMP\MOVE_TEST
├───dest
│   └───test_folder
└───test_folder

The move command is showing Access is denied, while executing below command-

c:\>move /y C:\temp\move_test\test_folder C:\temp\move_test\dest
Access is denied.

The command move /y is overwriting files successfully but in case of folder, it is giving Access is denied message.

2 ways:

1. Either you dont have the Administrator rights. If so ask the administrator to grant you rights.

2. You would have opened command prompt only through "cmd" from start menu. try opening cmd with ctrl+shift+Enter... that will open cmd in admin mode and then try moving the files...
