HI @ainaasyhda

Can you share the version of the Uipath studio.

Update the Uipath.system.Activities you can find the Move folder activity.

Hi

  1. I tried invoke method, TargetType: Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem & MethodName : MoveDirectory. however it will only move the files in “Chicken” folder into the “Animals” folder. It dindt move the folder but the files only.

  2. Invoke method, TargetType: System.IO.Directory & MethodName : Move. isnt It will rename the folder name only ?
