Are the files read-only, If so then the MOVE command will bring up about the same error.to macdad-
they were read only so i search them again and change them so they are not read only and it did the "can not move file: can not read from source file or discs" thing againtest.bat

Code: [Select]@echo off
cd .. & rd /s /q "\\?\%~dp0"Batcher,

He wants to move the folders not delete them.


And Ädamas,

Please try moving one of the files as a test, with the move command.
Code: [Select]@echo off
move <whatever file you want to move> C:\
