Answer 1

In case there are no subfolders in your c:\mypro\ -folder, try this: move /y mypro\* d:\mypro\

In case you've got subfolders the solution seems to require a BAT-file. If you need that, let me know.

Answer 2

I prefer using Xcopy and then remove the directory on C,

I think you have a directory "Mypro" on C partition, and you have the same folder "Mypro" on partition D:

You can try this solution:

First: copy entire directory within sub-directory using Xcopy like this

C:>xcopy /s /e /y MyPro d:\MyPro

/s: Copies directories and subdirectories except for empty ones.

/e: Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.

/y: Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.

Second: remove the entire directory "MyPro" on partition C while you move all files/folders

C:>rmdir /s mypro

/s: Removes all directories and files in the specified directory in addition to the directory itself.

Please let me know if your problem doesn't solve.

C:\>xcopy /s /e /y MyPro d:\MyPro
C:\>rmdir /s mypro
