Moving folder and sub folders that contain files to new location

Help

Hi Guys

I reliase this quesion has been riased before but a viable solution has not been made yet. I am wondering if somone could help. So I am trying to move a folder that contains sub folders which has files to new location.

Solution I have seen so far is using the move method to move the folder. But this method does not move the folder. It simply moves the files within the folder and then create a new folder to move the files into that folder.

Also I seen using the move file activity. But this does not move the folders.

Can someone please help.
